I would, and have, yelled at assholes who say that kind of thing to servers. <br><br>I don't work in a restaurant, but I do retail, so I hate it when people like that are assholes for no reason. I live in Oklahoma, so I see a lot of drunken redneck hicks yelling about the tiniest thing. Which is why in my family, we always tip at least 20% and don't sweat the small stuff. <br><br>I just hope that Katie gets only good people the next night she works. And I hope that you all remember the guy's face and make sure to give him a little "extra seasoning" next time he comes in.Pathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01422710573758718971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-41270211225248454122010-04-23T18:52:15.139-07:002010-04-23T18:52:15.139-07:00I feel so bad for Katie.

It's like they have an animal instinct that tells them "easy prey", and that warns them when they're dealing with someone who can verbally shred them and put them in their place.the career waitresshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00024953092779468089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-78445978718663762342010-04-23T22:16:04.802-07:002010-04-23T22:16:04.802-07:00I agree with the career waitress.

You just have to stand there and give them a look that says, "your mother should be embarrassed."<br><br>The bigger issue is that your boss like 3/4 rds of corporate restaurant manager are too worried about letters to the home office to stand up for their staff. In reality, "he was being abusive to a member of my staff" is about the best justification I can think of for booting someone. Can you imagine how much differently the staff would look back on the evening?Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14682849750698802450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-26484575724111157662010-04-24T02:09:00.896-07:002010-04-24T02:09:00.896-07:00Hi Pat!

Good luck dealing with the redneck hicks, they're sooo much fun! And if I see that guy, I just might have to do something, um, not so nice!<br><br>Naseem, I agree. People like that should be locked in cages.<br><br>CW,I think you're right. I haven't had someone go off on me like that, or even close, in a long time--ever since I stopped being afraid of the mofos!<br><br>You're right about the managers, David. They're all in spineless fear of their jobs and will never back the staff up on anything. That would have been the best time possible for BDM to stand up for one of us!purplegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02952678339075163056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-23733643582497450212010-04-28T07:06:47.109-07:002010-04-28T07:06:47.109-07:00Add Psychopath to my list on the previous post.

If I had been sitting at the next tab...What a dick! If I had been sitting at the next table and overheard, I would handed poor Katie a $5 to cover this asshole's dollar and told her to keep the rest of it and then I would have berated the man for making a poor waitress cry over a $1 mistake she was willing to get fixed. And for threatening to pelt her with baked potato and sour cream. And for being a waste of space and resources. The managers at most of the restaurants I've worked would have kicked him out and told him he was no longer welcome to visit in the future. I wouldn't find anything less to be acceptable, if I were in Katie's shoes.Pademelonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10909262358002348483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-83877686418753318942010-04-29T00:50:52.355-07:002010-04-29T00:50:52.355-07:00"for being a waste of space and resources&quo..."for being a waste of space and resources" -- I love it! :) You guys are right, my managers just suck.

Shit. All I can say is I totally agree. That...Holy. Shit. All I can say is I totally agree. That bastard would have gotten a potato covered in sour cream shoved up HIS ass, and I"d be hoping to god he was deathly allergic to dairy. Even now the only thing I could think of doing if that happened to me personally would be to stand there and blink for a few moments before going "EXCUSE ME??!" Poor Katie. Eventually she'll learn she has rights too, or she'll find a high-class place that doesn't cater to fuckwads.<br><br><3Masqueradehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14922518718146444771noreply@blogger.com
