We hear annoying things in our everyday lives, but nothing as annoying as working with the public in a restaurant. Yes, we all ask and do these things while going out to eat. However, when actually working, it makes us want to rip our hair out. Are you one of these types of customers?
1. Where is the restroom?
Well, over there, there is a big sign that says "restroom" lit up in red. That is where the restroom is, but thanks for asking!
2. Can I seat myself?
Sign next to the hostess stand: "Please wait to be seated." Therefore, the answer is no.
3. What is on the ____ sandwich?
The host gave you a menu. It should tell you right under the sandwich section.
4. Can I sit some where else so I am able to see the TV?
I guess, but just so you know, you're messing up everyone's system, and we will all think you're annoying.
5. What do you usually tip?
I can't tell you that because I want more money than you are probably going to leave me. So, you make that choice.
6. Should I get a salad, or should I get a hamburger?
Even though I would love to listen to you decide what you want among all the choices on the menu, I don't have time, so hurry up, and make your decision.
7. "Insert some annoying way to get my attention for me to get you something."
Shaking your glass at me to get you more water, or snapping your fingers at me will not make me come to your table any faster. I will probably take more time now to come to you. Nice try though!
8. We're coming in about 6:30 p.m. Will you be busy?
I can't tell the future.
9. "Insert loud obnoxious chewing/eating."
Sir/Ma'am, did your parents ever teach you how to eat?
10. Is water free?
Are you really that cheap?
11. Can you wipe my table again?
Ugh. I already wiped, sprayed, cleared, disinfected your table, what else more do you want?
We are guilty, but let's all just take a moment to laugh about it. Next time you go out to eat, see how many of these questions you hear people ask.
