Everyone else needs to stand up for the worker if they see shit like this, if the asshole is complaining to the manager, you should complain to the manager about that customer, and if the manager bends over backwards for the asshole, then people should tell the manager if you do that, I am not coming back. I wonder…

As others have said it’s pretty easy to say stand up for yourself from the other side. What we all should be doing is making sure if we ever see anything like this in real life that we stand up for these workers, and if these asshole customers are complaining to the mangers, why don’t we turn around and complain about…

You do know that walking out on a job or getting fired makes it harder to get another job, and in the interim you deal with not being able to pay bills because you no longer have a job?

If you think your child having autism gives you the carte-blanche ability to be an ignorant asshole, well then you’re probably an ignorant asshole.

Wuuuuuuuut? Are you suggesting that a parent should actually invest their own precious time in learning how to be an effective and responsible parent, thus enabling appropriate behavior?

I'm not sure how having a child with autism makes it okay to berate restaurant staff for not providing food that they do not offer on their menu.

“I guess you’re not eating then, huh, Timmy?”

Pinkham’s law.

Dude, the “no grill lines on grilled food cooked on a grill” assholes should just fucking suck it up and actually order what they want. That being: “Please, is it possible for the chef to pan fry the normally grilled blahblah? My kid won’t eat things with marks of any kind, but he loves your marinade.”

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

Reminds me of Louis C.K.’s response to someone’s cries for worldwide concern re: their little spew of sunshine with “It’s your shitty kid. You fuckin’ tell ‘em. Why is that anyone else’s problem?.” Actually used it once when the halfwit-factory standing in front of me at the pizza joint was told they didn’t offer…

Absolutely not defending Starbuckshacker guy, but yeah, some manager at some point should have banned that fucker a long time ago. Managers can be the worst horrible customer enablers.

Regarding the screaming woman in the pizza place: I did have an occasion once where my then 2.5 year old daughter asked me why some woman was yelling at an employee at my local grocery store. It gave me great pleasure to explain, very loudly, that the yelling woman was mean and nasty and probably very unhappy with her…

Ah service jobs (food/retail/anything). Where pretty much everyone has at least one story that ends with “and then I went and cried in the bathroom.”

Weekly Pinkham’s Law Bet: milkshakes (“the restaurant opens at 10AM!! the milkshake machine should have been ready when it was supposed to be!!” etc., while ignoring any discussion of the whole “put it in a bag” madness)

I could defend being in the position of dealing with a small child who is a picky eater. But that doesn’t mean it’s the restaurant staff’s responsibility to go out of their way to deal with it, too.

I used to work for a music producer who would get her power-trip stroked by sending back the food. Every. Single. Time. It didn’t matter what she ordered, where she was eating, or any other variable you can think of. This was just her way of saying, “I can bend others to my will” (probably because she wasn’t even on…

Starbucks scammer, street eating scumbags, both drive thru biatches.

So how many people will crawl out of the woodwork to defend the “no grill lines people,” all of whom should never go out in public and order anything grilled?

Dear dining public:
