I'm Shane and my guest here today and it's

because the theme is service industry and I believe you both have... Yeah you both have experience. We're on a public coaster. Yay! Whoa! You both worked in the service industry. Since I was like 14. Same. Yeah. We both had so many different places that we worked at so We worked at so many different restaurants. And was it fun? I would say yes. Some places, yes. Some places were super fun.

Like you were only there for the people. Yes. The money wasn't even that good. Yeah. Okay. I was always about money first. No, not me. I was always about people, vibes first. Yeah. And that's why you work here. And that's why I work here. True. But I'm sure you have tons of stories of insane customers,

insane experiences. And we're about to hear a bunch from some other people. Oh, I can't wait. Anonymously on the internet. So let's hop into it. So it's about restaurants, restaurants and bars? I, it's probably a lot. It's service. It's. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's why I. It's why I. It's why I. It's why I. It's why I. It's why I. And. And. And. And. And. And. And. that's why I. And. And. And that's why I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why. that's why I'm. that's why I. that's why I. I's why I's't wait. So let's hop into it. So it's about restaurants, restaurants and bars? I it's probably a lot it's service industry in general. In a general so there might be and it might be from different perspectives. Fun. Might be from the perspective of a customer might be from the worker. Oh I love that but I don't trust anything anything the customer says. Never. The customer is never right. They are almost never right. Like, never. Like, very few and far between.

Okay, well I think this first one has to do with a customer. Great. So let's see. This comes from legal advice. Regular customer keeps telling us that her latte causes seizures. Okay, stop drinking the coffee. Stop, like one seizure is enough. It must be a really good latte. Okay. Okay, let's see what's going on here. We have a regular customer at our coffee shop that has autoimmune epilepsy. They claim that when their drink is made wrong, after we correctly remake it 15 times, they experience seizures. I don't want to be liable for them ordering something that causes

them to have these seizures. My co-worker and I highly doubt that food and beverages cause seizures, but they order a tiny fraction of an amount of espresso in their latte. It is a half-caffinated beverage, but every drink thi thiiii- th th th th th thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toaaauuuuuuuuuuu. toauu. toau. toauu. we decided on giving them half of a half of a caffeinated shot. Order. Yeah, essentially. We feel as if they're trying to plot against us because they have a spreadsheet of workers who make their drink right. Sorry if this was put under the wrong thread, we all genuinely feel like they want to sue us for giving them seizures. Edit. I'd also like to point out that this customer is certainly a problem. They would stalk a barista from a different location and try to convince said barista to not move in with her boyfriend before marriage. The customer ended up finding out where the boyfriend worked and tried to get him fired from his job.

Now this customer is at our establishment after getting banned from their previous location. People in our region that have worked in our company for 10 plus years say that this customer has always been a problem. As a supervisor, I had spent a whole hour working on their drink. 15 plus drinks later, no solution. They ended up just taking the last drink. Next day, they asked for five remakes of their drink. I got fed up and thold that I that that I th th th th th th th the their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, ta. ta, ta. ta. ta. ta. teea. tea. teaugh, ta, ta, ta, ta, toda, ta, today, t drink. I got fed up and told them that I'll call them an ambulance if they get another remake. That or I can issue you a refund because we are not going to come to a solution if we keep going. They agreed to a refund and have now consecutively asked for refunds these past two or so months. So, a quick note about this. thiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I tho, I tho, I'm their, I'm tho, I the, I thr-a, I'll tho, I'll tho, I'll tho, I'll tho, I'll tho, I'll tho, I thom, I tho, I thom, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I I I I th, I th, I I th, I I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I'll th, I'll th, I'll the, I'll the, I'll the, I'll the, I'll thean, I'll thean, I'll tha. I'll tha. I'll tha. I'll tha. I'll thea, I'll the an this. We don't know this person's medical history,

nor do we know where this story is based. And you know, laws, whenever comes to legal advice, laws depend on where you live. Usually in legal advice posts, they state what state they're in, because that affects the advice that people give. We're not here to give legal advice because we're not, you know, we don't... Lawyers? Yeah. But this just in general sounds brutal. Stop serving them. I know. Sounds like the last place did. What are you supposed to do about that?

Because it is weird that they stocked a person. Like that's like, okay. But also too burnt? That's the beans. Yes, no, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I no, no, no, no, that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that's that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. that. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that's th. that's that's that's, okay, but also too burnt? That's the beans. Yes, no, I know, but like, how does that... How did that correlate to you having a seizure? Yeah, does that mean like, too burnt means too much espresso for this person? This person needs to get a life.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. Yeah, I mean, this sounds like extreme behavior. The stocking stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff. thakakakakakakakakak. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, like who cares about the remaking of the drink at that point? We're talking about something else here. Also the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet was the biggest red flag honestly. I would not want to be. Forget the stocking, the spreadsheet. Spreadsheet. This person sounds frankly lonely and they're just obsessed and like this is their spot and this is the most human in their their their their spot their spot their spot their spot their spot their spot their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot is their spot is their spot. their spot. their s. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I is is is is their. I is is their. I is is their. I is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their spot.. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their spot. their. their. their. their. their. their. S. their. their. their. S. S. their. their. their. S. their. S. their. S. S. I is is. S. their. their spot and this is the most human interaction they have. To be honest, I feel like when that's exactly what I think it is. I think that they're lonely and this is how they want to have interaction. When I worked at Dunkin Donuts back in the day, there was a woman who had so much sunscreen on her face, so much sunscreen on her face.

And she would be there my entire shift, like start to finish and she would always come up and complain about her coffee and she was like... At Dunkin Donuts. At Duncan Donuts. She would say that I... I expect craft coffee. She would say that it was burnt and I was like 15 years old so I was like oh I want to make this woman happy. She would never ever tip but she was always there every shift and finally my manager was like we can't keep remaking her coffee. She's there every shift. And finally, my manager was like, we can't keep remaking her coffee. She's just here every day.

First in, like last out. You got to set healthy boundaries. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she just needed a friend. The, like, as I said, the medical aspect, we don't know, we don't know these people. But I do think for a lot of people who ask to have drinks remade very consistently I can't help but think it's a little bit of a high they get yeah from from a little bit of power

It's the pickles guy from SpongeBob Wow, who's that? There are no pickles on my son's? Ew! Yuck! Yuck. Um, comments here. Not a lawyer, but I have epilepsy. It makes absolutely no sense why someone would risk a seizure over a coffee drink not being prepared properly. Correct. Taste and smell alone is no indicator if a food or drink will trigger a seizure.

If the customer's seizures are triggered so easily, they should take proper precautions. Someone respond to that that thing, 100% percent avoid anything that can trigger me like the plague. The only way she could tell if the drink is wrong is by tasting it, which could cause a seizure. There's no way I'd risk that. And I'd say most people with epilepsy would have similar sentiments. Someone else said, sometimes you have to fire the customer. Someone said three remakes you get three after the third one it's I'm terribly sorry but we're unable to accommodate you and here's a refund

boom please leave 15 plus lattes is them just straight up fucking with you what a terrible tool three three no you get what you get the first one you get the remake nope this is this is what we've given you this is the try again we're not trying three times ti ti ti try try try try the the tm the tm so so so so so so so so so so so so so the the the the the the to th I th I th I th I th I th I tho I th I tho I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho the the the the the the the the the the the the the thr-I the the thr-I the the the the the've given you, this is the try again, we're not trying three times. Sorry. This is someone, same. Also, my favorite thing to do is when you have the person that always asked for a remake, you know what I started doing after a while, I'd be like, oh my god, you're

so right, I'll remake it. Oh, yeah, and I'll shake it, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same. Oh, same, same.

We've had stories like that. Well, it's true. It's just get a fucking, it's in there, I'm sorry. But I agree with these comments of if you have a very serious medical condition that could be triggered by a coffee, stop drinking coffee.

I wouldn't trust a barista. A barista's not a doctor. And that's really scary to have epilepsy because there's so many things that can trigger it, especially like movies nowadays with like the flashing, but I feel like if maybe just like, yeah, don't...... the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the flashing but I feel like if maybe just like yeah don't. Yes. Just don't. Yeah and the responsibility of like movies and stuff is to let you know hey there's stuff in this but you are going to a coffee shop you know there's caffeine in it.

They're telling you the amount that they're giving you and it's just it's just, this is obviously this person, like I said, remove the medical stuff. they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. the. Yeah. the. the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're the. They're the. Yeah. Yeah. They're th. Yeah. They're th. They're th. They're th. They're th. They're th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I the. I the. I'm the. just, this is obviously this person, like I said, remove the medical stuff, they're a stalker. So I don't really have much empathy for it. That's so the industry though, you meet people that you're like, how are you walking this planet? Yes. That's what happens when you work in the restaurant industry. that's, you're like, how are you on this planet? And also, there there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's their their thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th th th th th th th thi. th thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. And also there's so many times with groups of people where I'm like you can't figure out how to pay this check together like you are grown-ass

adults like like like it is you have never gone to a restaurant together with maybe you haven't but like we are in 2023 like yes you can split it and moan mo like you can then moe like you then moe like the thinneau the the thinnen't th th th th. th. th. th. th. th.

Yes. I love this next one. Okay. Okay. This one's awesome. We might have a legend. based on the title, but I might be very wrong. Am I the assile because I brought a bottle of ranch into a restaurant? Absolutely not. That's a legend. You're right. We'll see. We will see. Maybe we're gonna eat our words here. Well. How big is the bottle? Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. thi. the thi. tho. the. thi. tho. the. th. th. You're right. We'll see. We will see. Maybe we're gonna eat our words here. How big is the bottle? Yeah. I've got the ranch. Last night I went to dinner with Michael.

It was our third date, and he took me to one of his favorite restaurants. It was a hole in the wall, Polish slash Hungarian place. We ordered our food and he ordered a sampler plate., th. th.things. There are very few things I don't eat with ranch. I just like it and it helps make some things easier to eat so I always have it with my meals. When we get our food I asked for some ranch. The waiter said they didn't have any and offered to bring out some kind of sour cream and dill sauces. I tried them and the tried the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toee. I I trymeae. I try. I try. I the the try. I tolde. I tolde. I tolde. I told told told the the tolde. I tolde. I told told me me me told me told. I told. I told. I told. I told. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I was was was was wase. I wase. I wase. I wase. I wase. I wase. I wase. I waseanananananananananananananananananananananan wa. I waseanean. I wasean. I wasean. I tryn't toldean. I toldean. I toldean. I toldean. I toldean. I told Michael I'd be right back, took my wallet and left the restaurant. I had seen a convenience store close by when we arrived, so I went there, bought a bottle of ranch and came back.

Michael looked shocked, but didn't say anything and ate his food. The food was great and we got some conversation going. When the waiter came over and said, wasn't allowed. I said dressing isn't outside food and they didn't have what I needed to enjoy my meal. I didn't want to ruin the evening, so I took it out to my car and returned. When we finished and left, Michael thanked me for coming out with him, but said it was really off-putting that I had to leave and go buy a bottle of dressing instead of just going one meal without it. I told him I wouldn't have had had to have had had had had had had had had hadings like a normal restaurant. He didn't walk me to my car or anything and just left. I went home and told my roommate about my date and his attitude and she asked me if I was being serious. She thinks I had bad etiquette and embarrassed Michael to the point that he was probably going to stop talking to me. I don't think what I did was really all that bad. It was a condiment, not an entire meal from some place.

Was I wrong for what I did? I redact the legend. Definitely not a legend. I thought this was gonna be like olive garden. Yeah. It was gonna be like, I'm sorry man, I know you have ranch, but you don't have enough. Yeah, I need so much rain. You are judging a cultural, like, you're like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, tha, tha, tha, I, tha, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I th. th. th. th. th. the, I the, I th. the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. the. tha. the. the the the the the. Yeah, the, already, it's not like a chain restaurant, anything. It sounds like a mom and pop something.

Yeah, that's not a. With Dill and sour cream, which is exactly like, sounds delicious. Sounds amazing. It sounds really good, the Dill sauce? I'm like, then you should have, I mean, I don't, I don't know if, she clearly probably just didn't know what th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the. to, to, to, the, the, the, to, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. the. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. the. the. the. be. Like she thought, I don't, this just sounds like someone who very American-centric, like a normal restaurant. Yeah, normal restaurant. Like probably has only been to chain restaurants. This is finally like... The thing is, it's great, it's good on her to like try other things, try new things, but... Uh-huh. Well also it's not even a matter of like, are you the asshole? It's more like, that's just a really dumb thing to do on clearly like a, an early date.

An early date. Who is Michael, by the way? I love that he's just consistently Michael. Yeah. This, this person didn't start off strong by just being like, last night I went to dinner with Seth. the last night I went to dinner with Seth. Seth, what you need to know about Seth? We didn't get any of that. No, it was just zero context. Don't know their age. Don't know what's going on here. A horrible thing to do on a date. Also I think it's a little bit weird that Michael didn't say anything to her coming back with ranch. Yeah, we don't know. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. the. the. the. the. S. S. S. S. S. to to her coming back with ranch. Yeah, we don't know. We don't know. I think this person would leave that shit out, but we don't know.

But also, I don't know. If someone did that, if I'm the type, that if I was on a date, and I was like, hey, I love this restaurant, I love this place is really awesome. It's this holetalk to you again. Yep, I'll sit here for this meal. I'll also point out the fact that that was crazy what you did in a very joky, funny way. I'll be like, you really like ranch.

I hope you like me as me as much. Because it's one thing to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like to be like, to be like, to be like, to be like, to be like, I'll the to be like, I'll thi, I'll to be like, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll thi, I'll the thi, I'll thi, I'll the the the the the the the the texture of a said food or something. But to be like, I can't eat something without ranch is so intense. I guess I'm like, ugh. Because ranch doesn't even have that much flavor. No, it doesn't. I feel like I would have to be like, really? You really went out and got ranch? I'm so embarrassed.

Oh, 100%. Yeah. I'd say it's also for me, what it often is, is not necessarily the action, but how you back up that action. And saying like normal restaurants, and like fighting back to the waiter, like when the waiter's like no outside food,

and there's like, it's a condom, I'm like, that's almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more, more the red flag to me than going and getting the ranch. Yeah. And it's one of those things that you need to be really up front if it's like you cannot eat a food without ranch. You need to be like, oh, you want to go out to eat? Do they have ranch? I have this thing where I need to have ranch with every meal.

It's got to be that. Say that much flavor. So what is it actually doing like, it's a fat, it's a milky fat, right? And so it's expanding your taste, but it's letting you taste more so you can palate more. So like the sour cream is gonna do it. It's just like, it's just like, dill. It's just like, a ranch with instead of like the oregano with those seasoned herbs.

It's gonna be Dill instead of those, it's not gonna be that much different. Did she even try it? She didn't even try it. That's the thing. No fucking way she tried it. But would this be a, this would be a deal breaker for all of us, right? No. It would be, it wouldn't be, it. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't know. I don't know. The ranch on anything I can definitely handle.

The ranch on anything I can handle. Being rude consistently, like if it was a consistent rudeness to a service industry worker, that is a deal breaker for me. So it depends, because this feels like it's a today. And we're at a mom and pop restaurant. So, like in my head, I'm like, if you need that ranch with this meal, we can box our meals up and go to a place that we can put ranch on it that's not disrespectful to the people that just cooked our meal.

Exactly. It's the disrespect. And also, the server must have been upset for them to say anything. Because as a server, I've seen some crazy shit where people bring in crazy shit and usually I'm like I'm gonna just let this one go But if it upsets me enough I'll say something so the server must have been I would have said anything If you brought in a bottle right I would have like you went to the store and got ranch you need help First of all they second all eat your eat your meal They they established they established enough information when they said like they didn't have any dressings like a normal restaurant. I'm like???????????? th. First? th. th. th. th. th. th. they. they. they. they. they. they. they? I. they. they. they. they. they? I? I'm. I'm they. I'm they? I'm they. I'm th. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I they. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the like they didn't have any dressings like a normal restaurant I'm like all right yeah that's all I needed to hear. Wait is it a deal breaker yeah it's a deal breaker I don't really it's a deal breaker not because I'd be

like you have to have ranch you're fucking weird it'd be that I I would say and I would probably say this I'd be like I would probably thi I love I th I th I th I th I th I th I to to th I to to th I th I thr to thrown thrown thrown I thrown I thrown I thrown I would probably probably probably probably probably probably th I th I would probably th I would probably th I would probably th I thrown I th I th I would probably th I th I th I th I'd th I'd th I would probably probably th I'd th I'd th I would probably th I'd th I'd th I would probably th I would probably th I'd th I'd th I'd th I'd th I th I th I thr- I thr- I thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown I thrown I thr thr thr thrown thrown I thr thro throu the the the throu the the the throooooo the the the the thrying new foods, I love, there's not a genre of food that I've tried that I haven't been interested by or like and I like to explore new things. And if you can't do that, then we can't, just work. Oh, that is true. There's so many experiences that we're limited by now. Yeah.

Go find someone else. dates. But if you are together for a while and they have this thing... Well, we're not going to get to that. You're right. Yeah. It's a deal breaker then. It's a deal breaker for me too because my stomach and my mouth is my way to my heart. Like, there is no way that we're not going to try all these different foods. Like, you're not going. No. Like, dude, you're ordering, I bet you they have schnitzel or like, uh, like, like, Broughtwurst, come on. Like, and if I ever want to go to like, fucking, I don't know, like Thailand.

Like, we're not getting ranch. Oh, no. We're not getting ranch. You're so limited. Like, you your suitcase? You actually, that's another good point. You can't travel. Exactly. Yeah. Some comments here. Back in the day, I went out on some bad dates, but expecting an Eastern European-style restaurant to have ranching and nipping out to buy some would go down in the bad-date hall of fame. Someone else said, yeah, yeah, yeah, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. So, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, so thi, so tho, so tho, the tho, so tho, so tho, so tho, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, so-s. So, so-s. So, so-s. So, so-s. So, some. So, some. Some tho, tho, thi. Some thi. Some thi. Some thi. Some thi. Some thi. Some tha. Some thau. Some, thau. Some, thau. Some thau. Some, thau. Some thau. Some thau. Some thau. Some thau This is so gross to me. Why don't you just eat ranch since it seems that it's all you enjoy.

Okay. Don't be petty. At a five-star restaurant, I'll have, I'll just have the chicken tendies, O P, P probably. And look, I love some chicken tendie. And look, I love some chicken tendeys. chicken tendies, but also come on. Yum. And at the very least, just communicate this.

Communicate this right off the bat. Don't get to a date and then leave your date. Also, don't leave your date alone to go somewhere. She didn't tell him that she was going to get the room. She maybe did, but I don't even like that anyways. Yeah. It's weird. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's bad etiquette. It's just like stubbornness. To not even try what they have is not really immersing yourself into the restaurant. Yeah.

So that's a little bit disrespecting, it's like bringing you there. Very different if you're like, hey, I'm limited by my allergies. I'm limited by this. Yeah, sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah, moving on. Wow. Yeah, fired up. I'm fired up too. Okay. Could have been a legend though. Like bringing a bottle of ranch into a restaurant like Buffalo Wild Wings at base value. We ran out. Sorry. No, Buffalo Wild Wings you bring, you're like I have to bring my own hot sauce because your shit doesn't get hot enough. Oh, yeah. That's cool. That would be like I want to party with that person. Yeah, because the mango havenu is spicy. to to to the to the th. the the th. the th. the the th. the th. I the the th. the the the th. I. I. the th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Because the mango habanero is spicy. I can only handle so much. All right, next story. This was on Am I the Assul and Reposted to Am I the Devil, so buckle up. Am I the asshole for telling my fiancé that he embarrassed me when he started singing the happy birthday song to his five-year-old son at the restaurant. Okay. I, a 30-year-old woman have been with my fiance, Ned, who's 36 for a year and a half. What? It's in quotes? Yeah, it's a fake name. Oh, okay, great. Right, right. Thank God. All the names and all these stories are always not real. Okay. They've been dating for a year and a half. He has a five-year-old son with with. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.. They've been dating for a year and a half. He has a five-year-old son with his ex-girlfriend.

They don't have a custody arrangement, but he has him most of the week because the mom is currently sick. His son is lovely, but I noticed that Ned takes him everywhere he goes, including places that aren't child-fiaull. We have issues with that, but we're issues, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th th th thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thri, throooi, ttttttogether, the the thea, together, thea, thea, th th th th th th th th th ago and Ned took us out to a restaurant to celebrate. The place was nice but looked a bit unfitting for the occasion because it was a somewhat expensive place. Anyways, we ordered food and when we got the birthday cake, which was a surprise to me because I thought we were going to celebrate at home where we could be free to sing and play however we wanted.

I still had no issue with that until Ned started singing the happy birthday song to his son. I was so stunned I almost dropped my plate. He was singing it at the top of his lungs, not even looking around or paying attention to how many people were staring at us awkwardly. I felt so embarrassed I kept whispering for him to stop him, but he ignored me. Of course my future stepson was hyped and a little too active, which isn't good when we're in a public place. I expected the staff, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, the manager, to to to to to to to to, to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to too, to, to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the their, the the the their, the the the the tooome, their, tooome, too, too, to staff, the manager, anyone to get involved and stop him, but no one did. In fact, some woman came up to us and offered to help him take a video recording. I wasn't in it at all. I frozen my seat, looking stunned and a little angry. He looked at me later, asking what was wrong. I didn't say anything except, thanks for finally noticing.

He didn't understand what I meant, and I didn't explain we were in the car. I flat-out told him that he embarrassed me the second he started singing in the restaurant. He looked shocked saying he didn't get why I would be embarrassed by him celebrating his son's birthday and cheering him up. I told him we could have done this at home where we would be more comfortable and free. He took it as me being ashamed of him and his son embarrassing to me at the restaurant and I've never been in this situation. He said that his son's mom is sick, that he's trying to do all he can to cheer him up, that all families do that and that no one had an issue with it except for me. Then when I tried to explain, he got mad and said he no longer felt like talking.

We haven't been speaking since then. saying what I said and insisting that I see him and his son as an embarrassment. Am I the asshole? I think he's being too harsh ignoring me instead of talking it out. Wow, this is so much. She just doesn't get, there's unspoken rules of social etiquette and I feel like the happy birthday song is allowed almost anywhere, anywhere, anytime. The son's mother is sick with, I don't know what. Besides that, I have never, she is sick. I have never heard someone singing Happy Birthday and I've been like, how dare they.

What are they think they're doing? And here's the thing. I feel like everyone universally kind of dreads the happy birthday song, but I also agree with what you're saying. It's also like, yeah, it is. And it's a five-year-old's birthday. You gotta do it. Like, he's a cute little kid at probably a really nice restaurant. Everyone's like, oh, I have fucking baby fever now. I love how she's like, no one, no one said anything. In fact, a lady came up and a lady up and a lady came up and to take a video. It's like, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because they's they, because, because, because they, because they's they's they's they's like, because they's like, yeah, yeah, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they's they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a they's a, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, they're a they're a they're a they're a they, like, like, like, like, like, they, they're a they're a they're a they're a, they're a, they're a, like, where she's probably like, stop, stop, stop. Happy Bird. And it sounds like, yay, because mommy say. And everyone around is like seeing too, and she's like, they're joining in because they're embarrassed.

I'm thinking of like the internal monologue where it's like, everything goes dark behind her. She's like, no, not again. This can't be thrown. She sounds extremely controlling because it's like the fact where she's like, why don't he do it at home where we can be free? It's like, you mean where you can be free. And maybe this is how she's grown up, like we should, her, sure. They were just like, we never sing happy birthday, like we do it.

We wait until we get home and that's where we celebrate. And you're upbring it on other people. I would get it if she she she she she sing happy birthday to me in a public place. Yeah. That's all that I would I would understand a little bit more if she's like, hey I was embarrassed like I don't like to be put on the spot at that restaurant. It's him and his son. Let him raise his son the way he wants. I also think it's more than that. It sounds to me like like that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the th. the th. the. the. to. th. to. the. th. to. th. I also think it's more than that. It sounds to me like she did not realize that she signed up for the son to be in her life all the time. Did you hear it? She was like, and he brings the son around everywhere we go.

Yeah, it's his son and his son and five years. Also you've only been together a year and a half and you're already fianced. Yeah. Which is fine. No judgment, but like that's not a lot of time to really like establish a connection with him. Him and the son. And it seems like she hasn't. No. Based on this, only on this, it doesn't appear. Well, there's probably only been one birthday before this. And in fact, if it's a year and a half, there's only been one birthday before this. It's one birthday and he was, yeah, probably at the house singing quietly. Yeah, and also, just for the record, it takes about 10 seconds to sing the birthday song. So quick. Correct. It is very quick.

And let's go back to, this is not a restaurant fit for child, th for child, th and child,, I know. You're right, children don't deserve expensive food. What? Yes. No? Yes, they do. Yes, they absolutely. I mean, it's totally. Sometimes they don't.

It's completely fine. the child, some children don't. It's completely fine. I will say five-year-old me take to chilies. Take me to chilies. Never stop going to chilies because it's so good. It's so good. I don't care. What's your chili is the order?

Yeah, we love to say that. Well, chocolate, and cake. Oh, it's it's it. You're out of your mind. Comments here. It's not embarrassing to sing happy birthday to a child. It is, however, super embarrassing to look pissed off at a person singing happy birthday to a child at the same table as you. You're the asshole. Someone else said, you're the asshole. If it had actually been an issue,

the staff would have intervened. They didn't. that the only actual response you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you to the the response you to to the response you to the response you to to the response you projecting your own embarrassment at having attention called to you in public. And you need to acknowledge that as your problem instead of taking it out on your partner. Whoa, this person was like, I'm gonna respond. You're the asshole, I understand your concern. Strangers might think you cared

about your steps on with a public act like that. Oh, tho, tho, this. H. H. H. H. Oh, holy, holy, holy. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thi. Oh, this. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thi. Oh, tho, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, this. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th.................................................................................................................................. Happy birthday. Yeah, the fact that she was trying to whisper to him while he's singing it. I know. It's an unwritten rule. You're allowed to do happy birthday. Everyone's allowed to get involved. Yeah. It's just what it is. It really does get a pass.

She was still, she wasn't disillusioned when the woman came over and was like, the throwne's to to to to to to to to to to tooom's tooom's to too' too' to too' too' too' to too' too' to be to be to be. over and was like, I'll take a video of you. Like, it's clearly okay that they were doing that from an outside party. Yeah. She still was like, this is wrong. I almost dropped my plate. Yeah, so why are you holding your plate up? Why was your plate in your hands? This is my dining.

You're the weird one. She's like this. She's like this person's worse than the... I love me. I'm getting excited. Am I the asshole for inviting my waitress out on a date? You know how many times that's happened? And you know what I have gone on dates from the restaurant? Yeah. Someone followed me into a service station asked me out. Oh, that's scary. Well, we went out for like four months.

It was really fun, actually. I thought it was cute. Yeah, but that's not a good. You're right. Don't do that. Yeah. I've had a couple times where I left them my number and they left me their number at the same time.

Isn't that cute? Sinked up. Sinked up. Anyway, sorry, we have a lot of stories like this. All right. This is a 46-year-old man. My wife, who was 43, passed away about two years ago. Since then, I haven't had the courage or the desire desire to desire to desire to desire to to to to to to to to toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, the the, the the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they.e, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thean, threatean, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, mea, somea, somea, somea, threate, their, I haven't had the courage or the desire to try and date. My kids are all in college, so I try to go out for dinner by myself once a week to get

out of the house. When I got to the restaurant, I glanced at the menu. When my waitress showed up, I was immediately struck by how much she looked at my worked up the nerve when she came back to give it to me to ask her out to dinner. She laughed and said she would think about it and left. I felt good about asking until I was done eating and a different waiter came by to take payment. I asked him what happened to the previous waitress, and he told me that she didn't feel comfortable serving me anymore and asked him to clear her table for her. I felt so embarrassed after putting myself out out out out out out out out out out out out out, the the the the the the the the thi, the thi, the thi, thi, and I, thi, and I, and I, the thi, thi, and I, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, and I was, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the thea thea tea tea tea tea, tea, thea, thi, thi, th rejected like that. I thought it would have been okay and it would have been better just to have heard a simple no from her.

Was I the asshole for asking her out? Here's what it is. She's working. Yeah. It's true. She is employed. She is on the clock. It is her job to be friendly.

Yep. and joyful. She is working. However, I don't, I do think that a, it's hard, it's hard with different people. I would say, based on the context he gave us, there was no sign other than just like, you look like my passed away wife. I would say for me, baseline, yeah, someone's working, you're an asshole for doing it, even if it works. Even if it works out, and it's a story where you can be like,

yeah, I definitely broke what I would say is an etiquette, and mess them out while they're working. And at the very least, you can't be upset by however you're rejected. Nope! That's not you're right. That's not you're right. If I if a different waiter, if I did this and I decided, hey, I'm gonna ask this this person out, which what I mean is I would need to know. I would need more than just like, I'm getting a vibe. I'd need to be like, hey, we're having a full-on conversation. You want to know his other the end of the meal. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm th, if I'm like, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm th, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, I, if I th, if I th, I'm th, I'm th, if I'm th, I'm th, if I'm th, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm, if, if, if I'm, if, if I'm, if I'm, if, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm th a full-on conversation. You want to know his other faux-pah? What? He didn't wait till the end of the meal.

I was just going to say that. Oh. You cannot ask out a waitress while they're serving your table currently. It is awkward. It is weird. It changes the dynamic. If you want to ask them out, leave them your number on a thing. I don't think that that's wrong. No, no, not at all. I think leaving the number. And even at the end of the meal, we are done,

our transaction is finished, we are paid, I have signed. Also, yes, you have to wait till the end of the thing. Yes. We are working. He asked her out before they were done. like, okay, how am I going to get a tip if I reject him? This sucks, this is now such a loaded situation. That's so uncomfortable for her. I do not think he was thinking.

That's why she said maybe. This is also why it sucks, too, because I know for myself as a server, I'm a flirt. I'm gonna flirt to get that tip. And I'm gonna be pretty too to get that tip. And I'm going to be pretty, too, to get that tip. And so, and a lot of people are like, oh, he's flirting with me. I'm like, yeah, I'm flirting with you. It's kind of my whole thing. That's how I'm going to get it.

You're working. I'm working. I think leaving the number. of it that I'm like, okay fine, you leave a number and you're saying it's like, hey, pressure's off if I don't receive a call from you, fine. Pressure is off. But, but I think that's the only version of it where I'm not like, hey, you're being a little bit of an asshole. But where you're absolutely an asshole. And this is across the circumstances is, and I mean, asshole, not in like, you're a bad person. I just mean like, you're, you know, you might, out of pocket.

If you ask, if you ask someone out while they're working, you might make them uncomfortable. Yeah. And that makes, that might make you an asshole. I'm not saying like, fuck you, but it's, hey, you have to really be certain. Yeah. And where you're 100% asshole. I think I agree with that. I do think it gets fucking complicated

because I do think in like romcoms, TV shows, like all these things, it's always like, you know, the waitress or the server, and like, that's how you meet. I don't think it gets really complicated. I have a question. What if the rules were flipped? What if it was a girl?

Asked out out of it. And the server is asking the customer out at the end of the meal. I think, but I think, we were talking about like the woman and the man and like, straight up, I think the issue is that so many straight dudes are so dangerous.......... the the the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the the the the the the the the the the the thi, their, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, the rules, their, their, their, the rules, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, thi. What, thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. their, their, their, their, theirthere that's so they're the ones who fucked it up. Yeah. Like we can only be mad at them. We can only be bad at them. I mean, we just had a story earlier for someone stalking someone, like,

they make it scary. That's the problem. They make it scary where that's the issue. Sometimes I feel like I want to believe that it's not all scary because I don't want to live, I don't want to live my life being scared all the time. So it's like I'm going to be more open to this, but that's just my personal experience. So that's why I think it gets really tricky. That's the thing you have to acknowledge as a man, in any situation where you're like, oh, I think this woman's really cute, I want to th..... this. this. this. this. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I thi, I'm thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm to be to be to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm to ask her out but you have to be like she doesn't know me so there is based on statistics yeah a high chance that I'm a dangerous person and I mean her hard right you have to consider that and you have you can know you know oh my intentions are good though yeah you know that she doesn't and that's the and she has reason to believe the exact opposite and that's why I say like you're an asshole based on these things like like th you th you th you th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to theeeeeeeeee the the the these things. Because you're now maybe making this day, this person's day harder.

Yeah. I agree. And just write your, write your number down later and then leave. Yes. That's the thing. Don't sit there and wait. Like, if they want to text you, they will. I can't stand when there's dudes who are creepy as F who are like saying oh you're beautiful or oh you look like

my dead ex-wife yeah my god it's like okay cool hey chance can you take over my fucking entire section absolutely no I can't be in the thing I've heard and we'll get into these comments is we can split the tips though the thing I've heard and I feel like the best thing you can do when ever asking someone out is how do you make them feel like as safe as possible and that they can walk away from this and get away from this super easily. And that's the best. Write your number down and be gone. Be gone. So comments here. You're the asshole. Do not proposition women who cannot leave if they choose. This means any woman who is in a workplace in which you are the customer.

It means any place where a woman cannot physically step away from you if they choose. Someone said, very, very soft, you're the asshole. You shouldn't be discouraged from getting out and opening your heart to potential partners. But I can see how the situation may have been awkward for the waitress. I'm sorry for your loss OP. Someone said, you're the asshole. If you want to ask a waitress out, leave your number on the receipt, way less awkward and puts her in control without having to feel pressured by your presence. If she's interested, cool. If not, Big Jerry working the grill will probably text you will probably text you will probably,

thi, and I agree with those. And that's what I mean. That's what I mean. That's what I mean. And especially this guy, and especially this, and this guy, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th... And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. If, th. If, thi, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th. If, th.

If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi. If thi, thi. If this battle. But also, did he really like her? Did he just look like a dead ex-wife? That's also a little weird thing. It's like, if you started dating, damage right there. If you started dating, if it did work out, you started dating, it's like,

yeah, here's a picture of my ex-wife that you look just like. Put on this guy. How many times do you think you got asked out while you were working? A lot. That's how Tim Robbins asked me out. Yeah. But he literally, he was leaving. Yeah, and his son was leaving too. Yeah, that's and that's fair. And they wrote their, they literally wrote their number down on a receipt and left. Yeah, and it was a private party and I didn't feel like it was creepy or anything but I feel like I got asked out a lot but the thing is is like I don't know is when I first moved here and I was single at the time and I

don't know. It wasn't I don't know. When you work in the restaurant industry for a really long time you are so used to the creeps and not the creeps. And you can distinguish them in a heartbeat. You see them and you're like, creep, not creep. 100%. And so I was very open to, if I didn't feel creepy, they, to if I didn't feel creepy, and, if I didn't feel creepy, and I try to the times that I got asked out that was creepy and weird and I had to give up my section. Many times.

Damn. It just became part of the job. I know that sounds fucking crazy. I became part of what I had to set myself up for. And it sucks that it's a reality. It's unfair. It's stupid. It's shitty. But yeah, it have to adapt because I Growing up from Boston, I cannot. I don't want to be afraid every day. I don't want to be angry every day Every time I get beeped up, I don't want to be pissed so I I just added it into my schedule. I know that sounds crazy. No, I mean, but I added it into my schedule. I'm like, all right?

Which fucker am I going to deal with today? And which person is going to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be afraid to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be to be to be to be to be they. they. they. they. they. they. they.

I'm like, all right, which fucker am I going to deal with today? Right. And which person is going to ask me out that maybe I'm, like, you have, for me, I had to adapt because I want to be happy and I don't want other people who are fucking creeps to like, change my whole day. Yeah, well, it also with the creeps, not just with creeps, but just like assholes.

Yeah. I'm not gonna let you, like, I've had a person slap my ass while they went to the bathroom. I, like, yes, has it hurt my day? Yeah. I can't keep letting that shit hurt my day. What's so weird is that nowhere else I've worked in restaurants for my whole life

in Tennessee and Chicago in LA and different places in LA and different places too. And nowhere, never got hit on or like assed out anywhere besides when I moved here. I guess there's just more gay people here also.

thanks again to Nord VPN for sponsoring this episode. Let's move on. Let's move on. All right. Am I the asshole for bringing my sister-in-law's wallet to the restaurant when she conveniently always forgets it? Ah! Ah!

Oh, I relate to this. All right, all right. All right, this might be our legend. This. Oh, this wallet? Yes! Your Honor, my sister-in-law. Is it really?

In the top hat? Yeah. Okay. This 28-year-old woman. Her sister-in-law, Amy, who's 26, always comes to visit from out of town. She stays with us instead to to to to to to to the to the to the the to the the the the to the the the to the the the the the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho this, this this this this their their this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th- th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the-s, thea-s, thea-swa-swa-wa-woa-wa-woa-wa-wa-wa-woa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-w woman, her sister-in-law, Amy, who's 26, always comes to visit from out of town. She stays with us instead of a hotel and always wants to go to expensive restaurants. She always conveniently forgets her wallet or comes up with some excuse as to why she can't pay her share. She's implied that since I make much more money than her, I should be the one to pay. No, not that my husband should pay, but I'm, tho, tho, the thi, thi, the thi, thi, the thi, the thi, the thi, the the thi, thi, the thi, the thee, the thee, the thee, thee, thee, thee, thr. the thee, thee, the, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I th. th. tho, and tho, and, and, and, and, and, thi, and, and, thi, and, thi, and, thi, thi, and I is is is is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thr, thr.. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thean, is throwneean, throwneeeean, throwne, and the.ean, thean, and thean, and the. pay, but me specifically. I do make a fair amount of money, but not so much that I can treat someone every time

they come into town. Nonetheless, in the past, I have just paid the bill and asked her to pay me back. She never has. She made a reservation at an extremely expensive restaurant last night, and before we left, I made it clear that I wouldn't be the asshole. And I'll admit, I got this move straight from an episode of two and a half men. Oh, awesome. Oh, my God. I love it.

You don't like it? I love it. As we were leaving, my husband and her went to the car. I pretended I forgot something and went back inside. I found her wallet. I put it in my purse and we went to the restaurant. When we were done eating, I asked for separate bills. She said, no, we need one bill because she forgot her wallet again. I reached my purse and said, this wallet? She was extremely furious.

She said that I should not have touched or grabbed her wallet. So am I the asshole for taking her wallet and bringing it to the restaurant? Wait! Aedit! Amy just called me. She saw this post and she yelled at me for bad-mouthing her on the internet. Honestly, I don't care. Amy, hopefully reading all these comments is a wake-up call for you.

Whoa! Whoa! She just made it real awkward. Maddoward. I feel bad for her husband. She said the price of this relationship is right here. Her. Her husband's just like, can you guys just get along? Ah! Not the asshole, but I would have probably done it differently because it's gonna, I would have

been like, hey, I would have had a conversation. I would have been like, before we left when we're getting in the car. If you know Yeah, we're like you have everything keys phone wallet wallet wallet Oh wait, you don't know. Oh you forgot your wallet here. Let's go check in the car. Well, she probably would have been like yeah Like because you always forget your wallet. Yeah, okay? You can Venmo me over request. That's also a thing to bringing the what she to? She must have to the the things? Oh? the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho the the the the the the the the the the the the their the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their phone. their their phone. their their their their their their their their their their their theto an expensive restaurant. She said, how many times did she say that it has happened though? She said it's happened so many times, so many times, and that the sister-in-law made the reservation at the expensive restaurant. I'd be like, no, we're not going. We're done with this.

We're done letting this person do this? Also, the husband needs to get involved. That's his sister. Oh, it's his sister. You're right. It's his sister. Yeah, he's just have come to it together. Maybe the husband and the wife should have been like, I'm getting, I mean, she probably just, but maybe if they both were like, here's your wallet, we found it, we brought it for you,

like if they were gonna do that. I do think bringing the wallet is kind of like, like, like. Look, she had to, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, to. to. to. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. theee. to. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. th, but it's also weird that the sister-in-law is making her pay. She said she's not, not asking the, that's what I was saying, not the brother. It's some weird shit, this is a weird person, based on the story, I don't like them. This sounds like a bigger issue with the husband and his sister and his sister, and I feel like the sister-in-law, the wife should not be in charge of the the the the the the the the the their-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-s-s-in-s-s, th-s, th-in-s, th-s, thirty-I-I-s, thirty-I-I-in-in-in-I's-I's-in-in-in-in-in, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's-in's, that's-in's-in's-in's-in's-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, th-s. I-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-s'-I brother-s I's-s I'm-s I'm th other other other other, th other needs to set some fucking boundaries there because the sister and the wife should not she should not be in charge of taking care of the sister-in-law like that. Also oh this wallet is the wrong line that is the wrong what is the right line? The right line is oh my god I actually grabbed it

for you. So true. I saw it on your suitcase and I grabbed it for you. Oh yeah, oh it was just sitting out on your suitcase in the car and I didn't want it to get stolen. Here it is. Or you could have before you went to the restaurant been like, hey, I need to go do the, hey, I saw your wallet still still on your suitcase. You go grab it. We'll go together. Let's hold hands and go there. Comments here. Not the asshole. Definitely not an asshole, but you might be a legend. Not the asshole if she's actually, if she'd actually forgotten her wallet, she would have been grateful you remembered.

Of course we all know she never forgot it. You're already saving her hotel costs by allowing her to stay in your home. The least she should be doing is treating you to a meal out to thank you for hosting her. Not the asshole and I love it. Not how I operate when people come with me and paying for everything. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I say, same. I've had a lot of stories like this of people kind of like making other people pay the bill. I've never dealt with it. I've never dealt with it. I guess I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never th. I've never to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the the the the the. I to dinner with too big of assholes because I feel like splitting the bill has never been an argument whenever I've gone out. No. Especially with what I'm talking about.

Especially with Venmo now, like and stuff like that, it's so easy. Well I think if you go with people who's been in the service industry, you don't make it a thing because you're like we are not splitting this 17 ways. I, I don't I th I th I th I th I th I th. I th. I th. I th th th. I th th th th th. I th th th th. I th th. I'm th th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi thi thi thi thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm theeee. I'm th. I'm, theeeeeeean. I'm theeeean. I'm theeeean. I'm the. I'm 17 ways. I don't know. I'm a giver and I will, most of the time, if people are visiting me, I'm going to pay the bill before you even see the bill. Correct. The waiter already has the card. And that's my expectation.

I don't expect you to pay. And when I'm visiting, I don't expect you to pay for me. I agree complete and if your mother is visiting I am taking care. Oh absolutely. My husband and I are taking care of the bill. Absolutely. Even if she gets pissed. Yeah I am of the mindset whenever I go like out to dinner with people that I'm like I need to prepare to be responsible for myself. Like no matter what yeah and I just I just need to be in that mindset and I can be pleasantly surprised if someone's like hey I got this. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. I. I the the the th. Yeah. I th. I to th. I to to to to to th. I to th. I to to to th. I to th. I to to th. I to th. I to to th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. their. their. their. their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I to. I to. I to. to. to. to. t. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. th. th. th. And I just need to be in that mindset and I can be pleasantly surprised if someone's like, hey, I got this.

But do not go with that expectation. That is how you're going to ruin friendships. You will ruin relationships with that mindset. And you're going to be so much happier. If you're prepared, if you're prepared, if you're prepared to dinner, just be prepared. That worst case scenario, I'm going to have to cover the bill. Or if you go, because I do not want to be in a situation where we can't cover the

bill. I only got an iced tea. Yeah, I mean you have that mindset, you can then communicate beforehand of like, hey, I can't afford to go to this place. Boom. And then it's like, hey, oh, we'll figure it out. Boom. Then it's like you've communicated it.

But it's waiting till the bill to then go, well, I was expecting you to get it. She's clearly very manipulative, and she's, and she clearly, she clearly, she clearly, she clearly, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, thi. brother and sister-in-law as like mommy-daddy right now. Like she's put them in that role. Yeah. And it's, honestly, it's up to the brother to set a fricking boundary. Communication. But if he can't, then it's up to, unfortunately, the wife to set a boundary. And be like, I'm so sorry you can't stay with us right now.

You have to get a hotel room. To go back on my, what I just said, she said she is not paying for the meal before the meal started. She established it. She established that and she was like you still want to go, you made this reservation and I am not paying for it. No, yeah this person full on. That's fucked up. All right, next story. Okay. I am hot. I'm hot, too. Am I the asshole for leaving itemized tips to compensate for my wife's behavior? What?

Okay. My wife and I, in our 30s, dine out every once in a while, but not too often because of my wife's annoying habit inherited from her family. She always complains, sends food back if it's not absolutely perfect and makes needless request slash substitutions. She doesn't have allergies or sensitivities. It can easily take five minutes for her just to order her own food and sometimes I've already finished my meal by the time she gets her food because she sends it back, asks for modifications, etc. I know restaurant staff don't appreciate it. I've I've tried talking to her to her to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their the the their their their their their their.

I've tried talking to her about this,

but she doesn't see an issue with it. Anyway, we make decent money and we use our combined fun funds on date slash dinners. I recently started writing what my wife does on the receipt and then calculating a tip in addition to the normal gratuity to compensate. So to a receipt, I might add not having blanked a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toefficient the the the the the the the the the toefficient the toefficient to a receipt I might add, complained about not having blank beverage, plus five dollars. Asked five questions about a single menu item, plus five dollars. Asked for a new drink because too much ice, plus five dollars. Sent meal back was exactly what she ordered, plus five dollars. She didn't notice me doing it the first two to three times,

but last night she noticed I was spending a lot of time on writing a tip amount and asked why. I showed her what I wrote. She's been mad at me since. Saying I'm embarrassing her to the staff. I told her she's embarrassing us both. Am I the asshole? Petty, maybe. But an asshole? Edit. My wife is otherwise a very nice, caring and generous person. She does always say please and thank you, even for her most absurd request. Annoying each other like this is our love language, but this time she's pretty mad. Oops. It's tough because he's saying... And stay mad. You know who else is mad? All the servers that you're fucking with.

They have a system. Correct. It's a little bit of like, there and... Fuck it up. Run shots. It's a little bit of like, please and thank you doesn't excuse. No. Too much ice, please, thank you. Well, it's just, it's also I would be mad too, because I would be embarrassed,

because I would see in written form, oh, this is what I'm doing. I'm upset, but not at you. I'm upset at myself because now I have written text of what I've done. You're a healthy person. I wonder though, well we don't have context of. I don't think that's what she's thinking. I don't think that is what she's thinking, but I don't have... I don't think she can... Do you know what I mean? Like she's thinking it and she's acting out but she's not she's not like looking

inwardly and being like, why am I actually mad? What's actually making me mad right now? What we don't have context on is whether or not he has tried to communicate with her about that. That's what I was wondering because if he has said he had he did. Yeah he said he did he did he did he he he he did he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he said he he he he he said he he said he said he did he did he did he said he did he did he did he said he said he did he did he did he did he did he did he did he did he did he he he said he he said he said he said he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he did did did did did did he said he said he said he said he did did did did did did did did did did did he said he said he said he said he said he said he did did he said he said he did he said he said he did he said he did he did he said he did. He said we've talked about it before. You're right. You're right. Sorry, I take that back. So he did he established I've tried talking to her about this but she doesn't see an issue with it. So he has tried. And now he's just like, fuck it. Yeah, like I'll pay for it. Did he just show her the things? How did he just show her the things. How did? Did he? He? He? He? He? He? he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he he he he he he he he he he he he he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. I he. He he. I he. He he he he he he he he he he he he try he he he try he he he he he he he he he he he he he long time. She's like, why are you taking so long on her tip thing? Right? And I showed her what I wrote. Saying, she's been mad at me since saying I'm embarrassing her to the staff. I told her she's embarrassing us both.

Yeah, she said you're embarrassing me to the staff. It's like, no, you already did. Compensating I don't think it's the asshole because they're married. They have their own love language They have their own back and forth and to be honest if you've if he's already tried to communicate it with her and this is like another way that he's try to Enjoy going out to dinner. Well, whatever what? Okay. What? What's happening here? I just thought about something? What? He should have just put the extra tip in? He. He? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tip? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their? their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. their. I. I. their. the. I. the. their. their. their. their. their. have just put the extra tip in. He shouldn't be writing the real. The writing... No I think that is pretty fucked a little bit. Yeah it is fucked that he's right. It is a little fucked. It is kind of an inside joke between him and the staff. It is. It's an inside joke if he's not showing her, the staff, it's like it's an inside joke between me and the staff to show. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff the staff that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is th. th. that is th. that is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the thi. th. th. th. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that is that is that said he said annoying each other like this is our love language But he wasn't but he wasn't showing he wasn't showing her this was a secret to her Oh, right. Oh, then it is like I'm the cool one. I promise I'm paying for the check I'm sorry. I'm such a bitch. Yes, that's exactly what it is. Yeah, it's one of those things and I mean I'm not a marriage counselor. I'm the the thin. I'm the the thin. I'm the thin. I'm the thin. I'm the th. I'm th. I'm the th. I'm the th. I'm th. I'm th.

I'm th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the th. th.'s one of those things and I mean I'm not a marriage counselor, an expert, in any sort of sense, but stuff like this, I'm like you're

telling me this isn't going to turn into resentment at some point in your marriage. Yeah. Like, bro, I mean it's a, but also I think she needs to acknowledge, like, thrown the staffs to acknowledge, like, it is embarrassing, like, you thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, and, and, thi, and, and, thi, thi, and, thi, thi, thi, and, thi, thi, thi, and, and, thi, and, thr. is thrown, and, is thri, is, is thri, is, is, throoooooooooooo. is, thr. thr. And, thr, thi, she needs to acknowledge, like, it is embarrassing. Like, you are making the staff stay harder. And you are not in control. You going to a restaurant, you are no longer in control. Someone else is in the kitchen cooking your meal. Let the restaurant take over. the restaurant take over. Let the restaurant take over.

Let them serve you how That's the thing. Let the restaurant take over. Yes. Let them serve you how they curated the menu. It is purposeful. There has been a lot of thought. They have been so thou-they. Let enjoy the experience. I, if I was a husband, I would have been like, I'm not going out to dinner with you. I'm so sorry, but I need to take a break from going out to dinner because I'm not enna. to to to to to the their. I'm their. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not to to to the the the the the the their. I'm not. I'm not to the to the to their. I'm not their. I have to their. I'm their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their. It their. It their. It their. It their. It their. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It's. I. I. I'm. I. I'm. It's. I'm. It's. I'm. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. I. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's the the the the the the the the allergies or sensitivities. So let's establish that. Like, this is just her preferences. I, I, look, maybe I'm the assuant for this, but if I was at a restaurant and someone sent a drink back because it had too much ice, I think I'd probably looked in the face and go, go fuck.

There's just no, there is no explanation for this is something she does something something that what it sounds? A specific, something she does specifically at restaurants. This is not a behavior that could be catered to restaurants, I guess? It was a normalized thing for her growing up, but it, and that's, and it's once again, if she wants to say, hey, I'm gonna do this, this is how I am, this is how I eat. But she needs to also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also a to also a to also a to also a to also a to also a to a to a to a to a to a to a. to a. to a. to a. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. acknowledge, yeah, I am making the waiters day harder. I can't deny that. Not only the waiter, but ever. Not only the waiter. There's cooks, there's food runners, there's expos.

There's now, now this ticket, now this ticket, that this menu, this item that has gone out thousands of times, everything has all of these modifications on it......... It, their, their, has, has, thi, their, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thoo, thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, tha, tha, tha on it. So now this guy is standing with this ticket who didn't ring it in, who a server ring it in, Expo is gonna have to read this to the cooks. A lot of the times they speak different languages and like there's little modifications that they don't understand, like it doesn't translate well. So now I have to explain how to dothem while they have 26 other tickets. And it folks up every other table because this food's getting cold, this food's getting cold, this guy's getting pissed, now this server's having a bad day, now he's going to be

and have an attitude towards the other tables. Cocktails are sitting and waiting. Everything is like, right? Yeah, yeah, I think it's like, yeah, I think, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th..... Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. This, th. This, th. This th. This th. This th. This th. This th. This this.

This th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. that go, well, I need food a certain way and I have my preferences, but I'm like, don't go out to a restaurant. But I think when you're at a restaurant, you kind of have to let go a little bit of the eye. Like, you are at a place where you are, you are affecting a lot of people's day and week. You have to let go of 80% of your control at a restaurant. Do not go out to a restaurant. the restaurant. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. their. th. th. th. their, th. th. thi. thi. their, thi. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I. their, I. their, I. their, I. their, I. their, their. their. their. their. their. their.

I'm, their, restaurant if you're not down for the experience. I'm sorry. There are places that you can go. Sure. And there are also places that like you serve yourself, but there are places that you can cater your own whatever you need, you can do it. And there are restaurants that and there are certain notifications that are they are like we can do this. So open to it. We can do these things. You. th. th. th. the th. th. their th. their their th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their th. their are. their are. their are their are. their are their are. their are their are. their are their are. their are. their are. their are. their are. their are. their are. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their the are certain notifications that are they are like we can do this. So open to it. We can do these things. So go to those restaurants. We have a lot of

options available to you, gluten free, vegan, you don't want food touching. We can do that. We can do that. But like when you start getting into it, if the restaurant is like we can't do this or like it's not an option that is on the that on on on on on on on on on on the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to. to. to. toeeea. toea. toea. toea.

So we have some comments here. Not the asshole. That must be mortifying. Let's have your wife work as a waitress in one of the restaurants you both frequent. Let's see how fast her behavior changes. Someone else said, not the the asshole. to their to the the the to to to to to be. their. their. their. their. the the the the their. the the the the their. the their. the their. to be. to be. to be. toe, to to to to to to to to their. to to to to to to be. to to their. their. their. their. to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the the the the the th. the. their their the she isn't a nightmare to wait staff. Saying please and thank you doesn't mean jack shit if you're making problems that aren't there in order to feel satisfied or whatever her motivation is for being this way. A new comment. Everyone sucks here.

Your wife sucks, but you do too because you treat it like throwing money at the problem will make it okay. At restaurants you pay money for food, to drink and service. Insulting and degrading the staff is not on the menu. How would you feel if I slapped you in the face but then gave you $5 and said it wasn't that bad because I was nice about it. Money does not entitle you to hurt others. But money's okay, great. Thank you so much. Wait, I also have to say I'm going back to the modifications again. A lot of the times people don't realize that the food has already been prepped hours before. It is already, it is slated to serve a thousand people that night. Like we have, we have this dill sauce that we have already made.

We cannot take out the dill. It is in the sauce. I know. Like, I'm allergic to this. Can you take this off? No, it's already pre, it's already already already, the the onion... The onions. out the dill. It is in the saw. I know. I'm allergic to this. Can you take this off? No, it's already pre-, it's already, the onions are already balsamic. They are already roasted in balsamic dressing. They are in a vat that that we can heat up. They just got made hours before, but we can't make another that just for you. Have you guys ever left extra tips based on like, have you ever been out to dinner with someone who was really embarrassing and you left like an extra tip?

Always. Really? Always? No, no, no, I'm saying, always? No, no, I'm saying, always? No, no, I'm saying, no. No, I'm saying, to thi. And someone you were dining with, the way, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to, to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the too. too. too. too. too. to-a. to-a course, but I'm saying has it happened? Yeah I have. It, it, with big part, with like a big group. It's happened. I'm sorry that we were so rambunctious and it's it's happened to me with a

a new friend. I remember it was very small. We were getting like coffee and something and she was being so specific about her and she let me have it to twice and I in front of her was like I'm so sorry and she let me have it. She was like how dare you how dare you make me feel bad like make me feel embarrassed so that was that's that's hard and I was like it since whoa I haven't done it since. And so I won't verbally say it. I'm just very cautious about it. I would never apologize on someone's behalf, not that that's.

And I did. I did. And that was a big lesson for me. So it's tricky with the tip thing. I think if we're a group and I'm with my friends and we've been asking for a lot of things. Fuck yeah, I'll leave a bigger tip. Yeah, and I have friends, you know, I know people with food sensitivities or situations where they would maybe do something like this, but I totally understand and the way they go about it

is so respectful and different. But I'm typically very wary and cautious of controlling people. And so, and I, controlling people typically give people, of response so if I'm around someone who exhibits that kind of behavior I usually just try to remove myself and remove myself as far away from that type I now will try to do that because I've definitely been burned because they eventually they go from controlling the stuff around them to try to control you yes it typically happens my husband is Yes. It typically happens. My husband is Sir bartender, bar manager. I, in our relationship, we sit at the bar, he is watching the bar,

he's watching how things are prepared. Sometimes he's like, oh, I love how they do that. Oh, what's that? That's not clean or whatever. And I used to get so frustrated about it because I used to not be calm. But now I'm like, this is something he enjoys. This is something he loves. When I go see a show, like a comedy show, you best believe I'm fucking sitting there thinking about all that shit. So I'm like, because I love him and now understand the root of it,

I get it, but I will say still as a server. Sometimes I can't turn it off. No, I stack all the plates at the end. I'm like, all the plates that are like, wow, thank you. I'm like, but here's the thing with servers when we come into the restaurant, and me and my mom, my mom famously server, yes. When we go to a restaurant, we are your best friend, your greatest ally, or your worst nightmare,

because we are so unforgiving to, maybe not bad service, we see, we can see your section, we see what's going on, we see the kitchen most of the time, we know what's going on, so we know if you're just doing a bad job. And then we're like, damn. We're still gonna, we're still gonna tip at least 20% of course, always, but we're not, like the back and forth is not, we're not gonna be your friends.

I agree. Wait, here we out. Do you, are you the type of people that go, we're servers. If they're doing a bad job. Who I don't I don't drop that ever because when I used to serve people that go we're servers too and I'm like Mm-mm. When they're when if you said that I'd go thank you for your service. Well sometimes those are the nightmare tables. Those sometimes sometimes those are what you're saying. Yeah, I'm like, I know you're just fucking up. Yeah bad. Because I can see your section. Those th. Those th. Those th. Those th. Those th. Those th. Those th. Those th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho that's that's tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they th. they they they they they they th. they they they they thi thi thi thi thi theeeeea. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, I know you're just fucking up. Yeah. Bad. Yeah. Because I can see your section, yeah. And all of it has the plates at the end of the table. It's so dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty mind.

So yeah, take us out to dinner. But really, like, most of the time I'm like, I'm gonna be gonna banter with you like, it's gonna be a great table. I'm gonna be they. they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thirty, I's, I'm gonna be thirty, I'm gonna be they. their. their, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's their. their. It's so. Dirty, it's so dirty. Dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty. It's dirty. It's dirty. It's dirty. It's dirty. It's dirty.

I'm gonna be to be try, there are modifications I'll ask and I'll be like I actually don't I really don't like truffle oil. Is there any way that truffle cannot be on it?

I t frequents the subredddit, I went ahead and showed her this post. With that said, I'd like to address a few things. First, she and I both know that any posts on this sub are peepholes into people's lives and characters, not display cases. Yes, my wife's behavior when dining out is bad, which is why I tried to think and you'll get far in life. Okay, dude. She made him right.

I'm sorry that some people just don't want to meet expectations. That's what she said, like, they can't, I'm sorry that you can't meet my expectation. Because there were explanations that could have been given where she's like, I'm so sorry, you know, like, I just, I'm very specific about things and I know and all this stuff, but no, she said this. And it solidified where she's coming from. This was an am I the devil, right? Also, she didn't say anything. He wrote it for her, which is so bizarre. Control me.

You might not have a post or might not have a... I don't have a computer. I don't have a computer. All right, here's your Macbo. Yeah, could I get, um, can I get more RAM on this? This isn't the RAM I wanted. All right, here's our last story. That's crazy.

This comes from a great subreddit. Tales from your server. Ooh, love. We'll get it. The phone call. I know we all have had those phone calls. The ones from customers after they get takeout and something was messed up. They can range from the upset woman who got the chicken when it was supposed to be steak, and once it comped the next time she comes in, to the raging man who found one onion in his taco and

is planning to drive to the store to scream at the manager and wants everyone fired. It's always a little nerve-wracking when you deal with these phone calls. The procedure for my store when getting one of these customers better than my managers. And my managers all know this, so I am allowed to take these calls. It was a busy Thursday evening because we have a burrito special, so the store was slammed. We also have Uber eats, which means we have Uber drivers coming in and out getting takeout out orders. On Uber eats, the customer can sometimes After we slowed down a little bit, we got an Uber order. And in the comments, the man said, could you please add napkins and draw a smiley face on something

to make me a little happy tonight. Of course, after I showed all of the servers, we all freaked out and decided we would write him so many notes just to brighten up his evening. We ended up making over 50 notes including jokes, drawings, and little stories, and added an extra side of Keso. It felt really nice to be able to do something for someone. So, as I was getting ready to clock out, one of the other servers comes and gets me and says there's a man on the phone who wants to speak to a manager about something. But they're all so busy, so can you take this? Of course, I'm like, oh, geez, I do not want to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a to be a the the not want to be dealing with this right before I leave, but I reluctantly agree and ask him how I can help.

He proceeded to tell me that he was the one who placed the Uber order, and after receiving all the notes he just wanted to call and say thank you. He started to cry on the phone, and I didn't know what to say, so I just told him that we loved serving him and we hope to continue to continue to continue to continue to continue to continue to continue to continue to continue the to the the to the the the to the the the the the to the house in years. His little splurge every week was ordering takeout from the store. I started to tear up and asked him to hold on for a minute. I got all the servers and put him on speaker phone to say, hello from chain Mexican restaurant. We all just wanted to say, have a great night. And all the girls got the cue and started saying, have a good night, to they. to, to, they. to, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, they, and, they, and, they, and, they, and, and, they, they, and, and, they, and, they, I they, the, the, and asked him, and asked him, and asked him, and asked him, and asked him, and asked him, and asked him, and asked him, and I they, and I they, and I they, and I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the to, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I, I, I, I to, I, I to, I the the the the to, I, I the to, I to, I'm, to, too, too, told, told, told, told, told, too, told, too, too, too, too, too, too, too this next week. I took the phone off speaker phone after everyone had said something. I told him that he was now not only a valued customer but a friend. I thanked him again and hung up. Now I'm sitting

in my car crying, thinking about this stranger and I hoped we helped him. Oh. Oh, yep. I was waiting for him to be like buddy showed up and blew up the bus. I was waiting for him to be like, Buddy showed up and blew up the restaurant. And then all of a sudden his car drives them. Yeah. Drive a happy face! Oh, that's so sweet. I really thought for a second he was going to be mad about the notes. Me too.

Which I was like, 50's too many? Do you have any. I thought they were gonna freak him out. Like I thought he was gonna call and be like, hey, I asked for one smiley face. Yeah. You gotta take these notes back. Oh, that's so nice. Do you guys have any memorable, like super wholesome stories from serving? Like, did it definitely a lot of wholesome things happen? It's just the bad ones tock out. The most sucks. You probably had a thiiiiuuuuuuuuu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to your day. Oh, absolutely. Some customers are absolutely amazing.

Like, oh, I think a while back I had this, oh, this girl, she had like lost her mom. And she was like eating food by herself. I forget, but I remember her being like, you could tell that she'd been crying all day. And as a server, I don't, I don't get too personal ever. Sure. I like him in and out, usually. Yeah. I am not like, are you okay, honey?

Like, I don't do any of that. I just kind of let it be. And I very much like was kind, but not over the top, just being normal. was kind, but like not over the top, just being normal. And at the end, she just broke down into tears and asked me for a hug because she was like, that was like, thank you for just like being there. And it was, I remember just, ugh! And I forget which restaurant that was, but, and it was like a very slow day.

It was like, no one really around. And I remember being like, it was just very sweet and yeah. I just love serving parties, like birthday parties or anything because I will make it the most fun experience you've ever had. I am the opposite. I think it's too much pressure. Oh, I'm easy. I'm like easy.

Really just. So sweet. Really just like an awesome one. Some comments here. I'm crying in the club right now.

Oh my God. Someone else said, take your fucking up vote. I'm ugly crying at this. Someone else said, was expecting to feed my cynicism, but got hit right in the fields and said, Bravo, chain Mexican restaurant. Bravo. And then lastly someone said the service industry definitely has its downs but brightening other

people's day always helps brighten my own. It has a lot of ups. It has a lot of ups. It has a lot of ups. I've met some of the greatest people on the planet. I would say mostly ups. I agree with you. Because most people when they're leaving they're full, there might be a little tipsy. They just had good conversation. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. But their th. But th. But th. But th. But thi thi thi thi their thi their thi thi thi thi. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their thi their their their their thi their thi thi their thi their thi thi thithey're leaving, they're full, there might be a little tipsy, they just had good conversation. And you feel good, you feel good. And I love stories like that because really, you really can change someone's whole outlook, someone's whole day by giving them food, giving them time, and you really don't have to do much.

And I love it. There's so many ups. And also what I love too, what I used to love about serving, is it was an amazing meditation because you weren't thinking about nothing. You were just, you weren't thinking about anything. You're in the fucking zone. You were just going. And when you're in the zone and hours passed by, you're like, oh, it's meditating. It is meditative. Wow. Man. Pretty cool. And being in the industry, especially in LA, oh my God, every restaurant is connected with a web of industry people. You go in, you're like, oh yeah, I used to bartend here.

They're like, oh my God, free this, free that. Now when I go out with H, every bar, it's like he knows someone from someone and it's like, oh try these drinks, oh we got this new Mez cow or blah blah blah. It's so cool. It is cool. Come out with us, Shane. All right, fine. Let's go to chilies.

Okay. It're welcome. And thank you for watching. Be kind to your waiters. Be kind to them. And let us know what other kinds of themes, subreddits you want us to cover. And we'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.
