Once only once, did I have a really sweet experience with a table with a kid. I saw them come in with a 7(ish) year old boy, and thought, 1 kid I can handle this. I get to the table, and they insist on letting the little boy tell me his specific order for his drink, which involved many different combinations of sodas. I pretended I was writing it all down, and of course, went in the back, and just gave him a glass of blended soda.

The rest of night with that table went fine. When they were leaving, the little boy said that it was the best soda he’d ever had, and gave me a little certificate the size of a business card saying that I was the best waitress he’d ever had.

I work at a national chain restaurant. A woman came in with her three small, unruly children. I greet the table with a smile but before I am able to get anything out of my mouth she says: “I have 30 dollars. That’s all. You need to make sure that the bill isn’t over 30 dollars and we all need to eat and have ice cream.”

Ummm are you kidding me? How the hell is that MY responsibility?! Great, so I am clearly not getting a tip and now I have to do math on top of it. It ended up being one of the most difficult dinner/dessert service of my life (complete with MANY substitutions, send backs, and my manager having to comp due to her dissatisfaction) the bill came to $29.84…AND SHE HAD THE NERVE TO LEAVE THE CHANGE ON THE TABLE.

Not bad to me so much, but heartbreaking in general. I worked at a national chain restaurant for 5 years that served a lot of burgers and fries, 350+ lbs man gets sat with his ~12 year old son, already easily 250+ lbs. Dad orders a triple bacon burger with extra cheese and extra bacon bacon 2 sides of ranch and 2 sides of sour cream. Son orders double bacon burger with extra cheese and extra bacon bacon 2 sides of ranch and 2 sides of sour cream. Dad gets half jovial/half upset and says “that’s not enough for my son! Give him more than that!” and coerced the son into ordering not only a triple burger but and extra side of fries….
