Good lord, I hope so. Sigh.

Teenagers behaving poorly in restaurants is one of the things that, probably beyond all reason and rationality, causes me to experience a momentary blinding rage.

He was just the pickled ginger, to refresh the palate between courses of oily, slimy, Devil Customer sushi.

well maybe my hair knows what i need and is trying to help

A concrete figure like “3x the normal amount” is also really helpful, because different people have different ideas of what constitutes “a lot.” But if you know their default and you can tell them to multiply that by a factor of whatever, they can give you whatever disgusting quantity your heart desires without…

I maybe cried. A lot.

Goddamn, I hate opentable. Not for the reasons expressed above, my restaraunt doesn’t actually use it. However, there is a similarly named place on the absolute other side of the country that does, so we get people coming in and telling us about the reservations they made on opentable and are shocked when they find…

I am the Casey that submitted the story and this just made my day.

Must share that I was super proud of myself at brunch yesterday for not modifying my food in anyway. I was raised vegetarian with no eggs and then of course have other issues but always try to do the least number of changes and ask as politely as possible. But yesterday I was normal! Ok the order was normal, I'm still…

And then there’s Alex Kingston. Yes, that’s her hair naturally.

I like extra cream cheese on my bagel. Like, extra extra, more than could ever be considered normal. So this is how I order it. “Could I please get a tomato basil bagel with extra cream cheese? Like, three times what you would probably consider extra. So a lot. A lot a lot. I’m happy to pay for it, thanks.” And they…

I don’t know what it’s like at Dunkin’ Donuts, but at Tim Hortons that means that the cup is about half-filled with sugar before the coffee goes in. I like a little cream in my coffee (though not sugar), and roll my eyes at the people who insist that unless you take it black, you shouldn’t drink coffee—but at some…

Teenagers behaving poorly in restaurants is one of the things that, probably beyond all reason and rationality, causes me to experience a momentary blinding rage. Oh, are you being rude? Is it to let off steam from your super-tough day? You know, the day that started with someone paying all of your bills and…

Coffee stories and going to coffee stories make me laugh so hard now...I learned a fantastic game when I got sent to Qatar to assist an Air Force base. I am former Army, so going to the Air Force can be either really entertaining or horrifying based on how good the location is. In this case...it was horrifying.

To which Loud Girl said, “No, I’m going to feed it to you.”

Why does everyone complain that deli sandwiches are not made the way they are in NYC, then stare expectantly as if I can do something about that? NYC is hundred of miles away from where I am serving you. Do you think I have Carmen Sandiego stuffed up my ass, and can instantly whip her out and transport us to the Land…

Never understand why people get so offended when asked to repeat something to a waiter or cashier. If you want to double check or ask me again, that’s fine. It means you care to get it done right.

Who the hell eats an everything bagel with blueberry cream cheese? Freaks, that's who.
