I would've eaten the tip on this table [yeah, right like you were getting one anyway] but the NUMBER ONE rule of being a guest is You.DO.NOT.touch.your.server.<br><br>But to HIT you? Oh, I would've gotten the dressing along with the check, brought it back and told her "You can pay when you are ready." And then explain why I wasn't waiting on her anymore.<br><br>I know it is easy for me to write that on here - as everyone needs their job. But I have a great fear of being hit and this would've done me in. I hope one of the better managers was on duty.SkippyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-3139515956640836182010-01-16T07:32:30.135-08:002010-01-16T07:32:30.135-08:00You should have grabbed her hand flicked it away. ...You should have grabbed her hand flicked it away. I can't believe someone would do that. She wouldn't like it if someone pushed her along at the supermarket because she wasn't walking fast enough what makes her think its okay to touch you.Naseemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07430141315907173526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-45793576717816159972010-01-16T09:15:09.601-08:002010-01-16T09:15:09.601-08:00We had a table of 3 hit a server once (these peopl...We had a table of 3 hit a server once (these people were CRAZY). He dropped what he was doing, called for the manager, and the manager escorted them out. They hadn't even finished their dinners, and he made them pay and leave. <br><br>On another note, I've had something like that happen to me. Not a full out hit, but a little whack and grab on the back of my arm too. I turned, gave them a glare, and marched off. Another server told me what they needed so I did the same thing Skippymom said to do - I dropped off their refill with their check and ignored them the rest of the night.JumpIthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08679491498657927023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-27344096627800967032010-01-16T09:40:27.982-08:002010-01-16T09:40:27.982-08:00Couldn't you press assault charges on that old...Couldn't you press assault charges on that old hag?IrasciblePlatypushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02324537625141586495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-73992089969697747142010-01-16T11:26:07.271-08:002010-01-16T11:26:07.271-08:00I don't mind if a guest touches me.

Fuck people who do that. I'm surprised you didn't say anything, but I'd probably be passive too, until I got into the kitchen.Common Waitresshttp://commonwaitress.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-38485181616626041282010-01-16T12:05:57.763-08:002010-01-16T12:05:57.763-08:00Wow.

I was just so surprised! And I did tell good old Pot Smoking Manager, but he didn't do anything--nor would any of the others, for fear of "offending" paying customers.<br><br>I just near-ignored the bitches the rest of the time. The other one, who didn't touch me, paid--and did leave me a 30% tip, which shocked the hell out of me. Maybe she was embarrassed by her crotchety old hag of a friend.purplegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02952678339075163056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-58989665710165198552010-01-17T07:31:18.772-08:002010-01-17T07:31:18.772-08:00You are such an accomplished writer and a droll ob...You are such an accomplished writer and a droll observer.
