10 Customers Every Waiter & Waitress Hates Serving

1. The Table with theBratty Kid

Nobody likes to eat in a restaurant near an unruly kid, much less have to serve them while they are screaming at the top of their lungs and rolling all over the floor.

2. The Huge Group of Teens

When you see a huge group of teens coming into the restaurant, you can about guarantee that they’ll be really loud, laugh at the dumbest stuff, try to “out funny” each other, and thenleave a huge mess.

3. The Weird Flirty Dude

It’s always awkward when a customer creepishly flirts, trying to get your phone number, trying to make plans with you, or asking when your shift is over. This is a restaurant, not a dating service.

4. The Constant Complainer

Mistakes happen and sometimes the waiter or the chef screws up the order. It’s really not done on purpose. But, there’s always that one person who complains about everything… even after they’ve eaten all the food on their plate.

5. The Person Allergic to Literally Everything

It’s really not their fault they are allergic to absolutely every food on this planet. But still.

6. The Person Who Is Just Plain Rude

There is such a thing as common decency. However, some guests have never heard of it, apparently. No “please” or “thank you,” they just bellow out orders as if their server is subhuman.

7. The Bad Tipper

Waiters and waitresses make most of their money from tips they receive from their customers. Yet, there’s always the person who barely tips at all no matter the quality of the service they receive.

8. The Perpetual Cell Phone User

Most servers do not like interrupting people while they are talking on their phones. So, if you sit down while you are on your cell phone, you may see your waiter leave some napkins, walk away from your table, and return when you are finished.

9. The Closing Time Customer

Of course, there is always theperson who has to wander into the restaurant one minute before closing time and sit down to order a huge meal. It’s not really his fault since the place is still open. But, he doesn’t realize that everyone in the restaurant is forced to stay until he leaves. If you are that guy, at least throw in an extra $5 bucks in addition to the tip for the person who has to stay and wait.

10. The Religious Non-tipping Tipper

Thank you for reminding us that Jesus loves us. We love Him, too. But, leaving inspiring Scripture and religious pamphlets as a substitute for a tip is not a really being a good witness for Him.
