They weren't ready to order; I knew right away they were going to be trouble, though, as the woman was very snide about it. It was a couple, and they sat on the same side of the booth; but unlike most people who do that, they weren't cuddly or even touching at all. They both seemed very uncomfortable, actually.
I got the drink order on the inside five top, and then glanced back at the two. They were still looking at the menu. Meanwhile, I could see that my outside table needed refills.
So I go back to the kitchen, punch in the five top's very simple order, and pour two sodas. I breeze out to the patio, set the drinks down, and come back in.I'm a nerd, so I've made a diagram. After setting down the drinks at the table outside, I came back in. I had already made a left and was in front of table 23, walking towards and looking at my two top, when the woman sticks her arm in the air, snaps her fingers, and snips, "We're ready to order!"
My smile froze on my face. I stiffly took their order, gave them basic service, and was not sorry to see the back of them.

Well, they'll always be assholes; sucks to be there. :)
i luv that you did a drawing!
Yeah, I'm a big nerd. :)
I always love when people see you walking toward them and still feel the need to call your attention. That's when my service goes from the best to the basic. It's like they expect you to ignore them or something.
Or when you have ketchup right on the tray, but God forbid they have to WAIT for you to put everything on the table before asking for something else...like ketchup.
I have only had one person snap at me, and it was a young guy who had forgotten my name. Everybody else at the table gave him crap for it, super funny.
I ignore people who are blantently disrespectful. I just look at them and walk away. If they are that rude to snap, they aren't going to tip.
