I think maybe she just doesn't enjoy pregnancy - it's common enough. You don't need to be mean !

Indeed. A friend's future ex-wife decided on the spur of the moment to take the streetcar to her wedding rather than sit her ass down in the limo waiting outside her door. The St. Charles Streetcar. In her wedding gown. We were all waiting around for the bride to arrive (30 minutes late and counting) when we saw her…

OK, three points here, quickly.

I’m not defending the customer, but there is a white cheese-based queso. Probably all he ever knew of it, as a dishwasher. Also the server was snotty.

The water, oh god the water. I had a -server- pull that on me one day.

The only good part of my serving job at one particular shithole was that they served soda from a small local manufacturer. It was so much fun to answer “Do you have Coke or Pepsi?” with “Neither” and watch people lose their fucking minds.

Just because the customers in the story turned out to be genuinely awful doesn’t mean the server can’t be a nasty piece of work too.

1. The audacity to assume a person has the power to command a restaurant’s staff to move paying customers that were there before them.

A lot of servers make (less douchey) socioeconomic observations about customers in BCO. I was just pointing out the “poors be stupid” vibe that dude was throwing.

Well, obviously that’s the good table since that’s the only one where people were sitting!

poorer folks were a part of the landscape

I’m sorry but my brain is now broken at the idea of chips and queso being made with mozzerella chesse.

See, also, anyone having a wedding or a birthday who thinks that everything must now revolve around them.

At least the dine and dasher was thoughtful enough to leave the number of someone who can identify him and has all of his information on file for the police.

“So, your table stopped me and asked what kind of fish they had was because they thought you were lying to them; I told them it was cod and they asked why we didn’t have real fish.”

Ah.

In theaters right now, there are movies about:

My guess on what really went down:

You assume he’s telling the truth. This douchebag was douchey enough to not only demand the “outrageous” tip be removed (note: if 20% looked “outrageous,” it was probably a pretty hefty bill. i.e. you can afford it, buddy.), but then to go write to some columnist to brag about stiffing a waiter. The pretentiousness…

This should clear things up.
