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!"
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.
