To the lady who had the audacity to complain that I forgot to bring her a napkin when I was working a busy restaurant ALONE: you are an anus of the highest caliber. Seriously. Could you not see me running around trying to keep up with the packed house? Could you not see me constantly in motion, constantly doing something for someone? I really am sorry that I forgot to bring you a napkin, but asking to speak to the manager about it pushed me over the edge. Stay home next time and get your own GD napkins. —Disgruntled server

You would think that all we have in halifax is people driving around going to restaurants or eating in restaurants, where are the office bitches? watercooler gossip? Either we are all pissed off when getting food and drink waited on us saving us doing it at home or we are complaining about how shit the province is. From the sounds of it yeah it is shit all we have is traffic, gangster kids and fucking restaurants… and small dicks/tits.
As for the napkins, i do take some myself when i go out, but often the servers dont give you enough, especially when they know you just ordered some nice messy food like ribs, wings or sloppy burgers. As i said earlier, i wish these people would stop complaining about stupid shit, did the OP get a tip at least?
Sounds like they should have gotten up & got they’re own napkin…but from what I’ve heard, when you are the exact centre of the universe, you expect everything else to revolve around you !
So…how many time did this “anus of the highest caliber”, ask for a napkin before complaining to management?
And…where do you work, what restaurant?
The reason I’m asking, is that I don’t want to make the mistake of going to your establishment, and actually make you do your job. That would be so unfair.
Anglo, I’m down for some original bitches as well!
Hugo, depending on the situation, calling a manager over a busy waiter forgetting a napkin seems a bit ridiculous to me.
methinks peeps brains are melting these days.. the rudeness and just general fucking tude taking out on all service workers is something i haven’t seen in the 30+ yrs in the biz..not good
How busy you are isn’t my fucking problem, it’s yours. Now get my fucking napkin.
OP that was sebastian and not a woman.
Aye i thought people might hear my call but nope we got… weather/car, grammar nazi and the poor oval again. sigh.
Sounds like your manager should have more staff working, why were you the only server?
It’s not the customer’s fault your restaurant is understaffed. The customer had asked for a napkin and you didn’t bring it. They had a right to speak to the manager. Hope they left you no tip.
Office bitches? Water cooler chit chat?
Anglo…
The office is boring.

if its a paper napkin she has no basis for her complaint. if it was a linnen napkin the resteraunt should be held to a higher caliber of service than what was provided -either more staff to meet demand or better training/time management on behalf of the staff.
OB its often best when faced with conflict to imagine yourself in the other persons position. imagine sitting at a resteraunt, your food comes but you have no napkin. you know you are a messy eater. if you dont tuck a napkin in your blouse you are going to have ceasar salad dressing and chicken wing sause all down your cleavage. as soon as you walk out there are going to be birds divebombing your breasts to snatch a morsel. (this is a common fear amongst diners age 45-87) the reason you are eating out is because you and ‘that bastard you have been putting up with for 20 years’ had a fight and it came to blows. you have dried blood in your nose and a big snot and youve been crying. you just want a napkin so you can discreetly rid yourself of this conjealed reminder of the fight you had before treating yourself to the first meal of the rest of your life. and little miss ‘give all the attention to the cute boys in the booth who wont shut up and are being so obnoxious’ wont stop flirting long enough to go get a jo-jumpin napkin!!
you had a duty to provide the kind of customer service that would restore her faith in humanity and you blew it!
oh fucking joy, another restaurant bitch. must be a full moon somewhere? people, puhlease, give it a fucking rest with the annoying customer shit, the wait staff shit, the owner/manager shit. we fucking get that they are all douchebags of the highest calibre.
how about we have a restaurant bitch, where nothing but lovery service, staff, tips abound? no fucking wonder that people don’t, do not doesn’t want to eat out anymore. even at a burger joint. til some sanity comes back to these joints, i will eat at home, thank you very fucking much.
hey anglo, i loves itty bitty titties. that’s a hint single girls here, i can help with the up sizing too.
I’m just glad i’m not the only one sick of these, actually i now refuse to comment anymore on restaurant bitches after this one until i see fit to do so. (takes hat and leaves)
Complained to the manager over not getting a napkin? What a fucking tool. Some people should just stay home and eat.
