When a table gets rude with me, I can’t hide the irritation in my voice and face for the life of me.

I don’t care about the tip at this point, let’s take it outside if you need to? All 8 of ya’ll.

I hear yah. I don't go out anymore but I always treated the waiter waitress kindly and usually were treated in kind. That's what increases tips. I had one incident years ago at a Ruby Tuesdays where we placed our order and for over 2 hours the tables around us were served and new customers seated in their place. All the while the waiter kept refilling our drinks. At the 2 and half Mark I'd had enough. I went to podium and told the manager he had no good reason to be in business and how long I'd been there. He looked at some list and called our waiter over who saw me and said hi your meal is coming right out. I looked at the manager this won't do you can pay for it.
I have not been in any Ruby Tuesday since.

I wouldn’t wish any customer service job on anyone. Yet I also feel there should be a mandatory time you have to serve in that role so everyone can be humbled. At least some kind of public service anyways.

@Reject at least my social skills are somewhat improving.

I live for the people that are sweet tho, ugh. I just want to please them, they’re so rare.

@Pressure Sociability is becoming a rarer skill these days. I’m sure you can attest to that with all those rude customers you have to deal with. So I admire you for improving it. 💪

I’ll make a note to be sweet to my next waitress! You never know whose day you might make.
