And they're always so damned *proud* of themselves when they cheat their way to something. "Look at me! I weasled my way out of a $2 charge by being a jerk and giving some poor working stiff grief!"
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I feel sorry for the waitpeople who get stuck with shitty customers. But, I gotta say, there's a lot of shitty waitpeople out there, too. The last time I went for lunch at Applebee's I walked out of the place after 10 minutes. In which, no one brought even water to the table or came by to see what I wanted to drink, much less order. As I walked out the door, there were two waitresses standing at the hostess podium who said "have a nice day" as I walked out. Talking about wanting to choke a bitch, or two.

I had a waitress at IHOP ask me if I was sure my husband was coming after she had to wait a few minutes to take our order while he was getting me a newspaper.

Actually, I don't know that one, but it sounds like a big compliment, right? Yeah.
