A server describes three instances where customers were rude and down right abusive towards her. The first is after a simple mistake on the server’s part that was fixed immediately. The customer was so angry that she went back to her table and smeared the food all over the table. The second is where a woman orders her food and when the food comes out to her, she complains and pretends that she actually ordered something else entirely. The third involves a woman making messes at the table and verbally assaulting the server.

Key Takeaways:

  • Food servers have a hard job, in no small part, because customers can be very unreasonable.
  • Unreasonable customers magnify tiny mistakes into Mt. Everest events and create drama over things that are actually fine.
  • What’s worse is that unreasonable customers feel free to take out their angst by not appropriately tipping their server, or even creating a mess for their server to clean.

“Being a waitress means dealing with the public and in case you were unaware, that means dealing with a lot of assholes.”
