Does it give you pleasure to read about the horrible things that happen to others? Do you just like stories that remind you, no matter how badly you feel, that somewhere out there there’s someone who’s an even worse person than you are? (Or at least, that you feel like?) “Server Besieged by Surly Customers” indulges this pleasure, with the tale of a server who had to deal with some customers on tour — from hell.

Key Takeaways:

  • The night was tonight, six hours ago to be precise. It was almost ten at night and I was scheduled to be off of the floor once the overnight server showed up.
  • People start pouring into the lobby from outside. They almost all have the same hefty build and hook nose; my guess it’s a family outing.
  • My party’s food takes a half hour to come out. They stopped me to complain literally every five minutes; I had to start avoiding them.

“They all got dessert (the servers prepare the desserts) and left two dollars as a tip. Their bill was well over two hundred dollars… some people.”

Do you like reading the stories of waiters – or other service people – who hate their jobs, and take the time to rant about it on the internet? With another story from the b***y waiter comes the tale of a complaining man and the horrific things that happened to him at this meal, through the kind-of-satirical story “Man Has Worst Meal of His Life at Cracker Barrel but Survives.”

Key Takeaways:

  • We have all had bad meals in our lifetimes. Maybe you undercooked your Kraft macaroni and cheese or maybe your tater tots got burned.
  • Rocky had it happen at Cracker Barrel. According to his recent post on the Cracker Barrel Facebook page, he was driving to New Orleans from Michigan and that’s when his life of perfect meals hit a brick wall.
  • Feeling bad for Rocky, I reached out to him (no I didn’t) to learn more about his experience.
