Server Besieged by Surly Customers

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.”
