Ugly Table #74

F’k off Democrats

Me: I think I know your dad, great guy.

Customer 1: Thanks

Customer 2 (across the table from customer one): It’s too bad he is a Democrat (in a snotty voice)

Me: What’s wrong with that? (Then I walked away.)

Customer 2 (under her breath): F’ck Off.

The Round Up Tip

The round up tip is usually not good, but this guy must only figure out his checkbook in increments of $50.

Ugly Table #72

Hostess (without) the Mostess

Customer: “I’m glad to see you are in a good mood. The hostess who sat us was not.”

Me: She is never in a good mood. I nicknamed her, “FREE Appetizer.”

BONEHEAD

Customer: I can’t cut thru this steak.

ME: Maybe you have a dull knife?

C: No, it is really tough.

I take the offending steak back to the grill chef . . .

ME: Customer is saying they can’t cut thru this steak.

After closer inspection by the chef he says,

“Does he realize this is a T-Bone and there is a bone down the center of the steak that apparently he is trying to cut thru by these apparent steak knife marks.”

GETTING OLD SUCKS

(Overheard by the host stand)

Four elderly patrons approach the host stand and make a request,

“Can we get a table as closest to the bathroom as possible?”

POINTLESS

Yes, someone at work decided that putting an empty milk carton into a very tiny paper receptacle was a good idea.

Remember, The Ugly Table is almost 90% customers, and 10% co-workers.

Ugly Table #68

What are you? Three years old?

Customer: I will take a salad, only iceberg, dressing on the side.

Me: Only iceberg? Nothing else?

Customer: Yes.

I bring an iceberg wedge slice to his table (this is how our iceberg salads are served).

Customer: Well, you could have cut it up for me.

Me: Sir, in that rolled-up napkin you will find a knife and fork.

And I walked away.

I wanted to say, “Do you need me to cut up your steak for you in little itzy-bitzy bite size pieces to? Maybe we can run your sweet potato thru a blender? Do you need a high chair and a bib?”

Grow up.

Ugly Table advice

This school stumbled across my ‘Ugly Table’ prose and sent me this handy guide on tipping;

Ugly Table #67

TWO-DOLLAR BILL

A customer (bragged) pointed out to me that she was tipping me with a two-dollar bill (On a $30 tab).

I said ‘Thanks.’ in the most melancholy voice I could muster.

I wanted to say,

“You know what a two-dollar bill is worth?”

“Two dollars!!!!!!”

I wonder if she tips a silver dollar for $15 tabs?
