Hungover Bitch

[customersruinmylife]

I was working the morning shift, and a hen (bacholorette) party came in. They had been in the day before and had drunk themselves silly. They were still wearing the same clothes from the night before, and judging by the state and smell of them, half of them hadn't made it back to their hotel the night before. So I had to deal with a group of 20 screechy, angry, hungover women, average age 50 and wearing clothes suited for a 16 year old.

So, they all order their food...seperately, even though they were all sat together. We were really busy, and because they had all ordered seperately, the kitchen misjudged how many breakfasts they had to prepare. This meant that one lady's breakfast was lost.

SC: Excuse me, but I ordered breakfast. Everyone has their breakfast on my table except me!
Me: OK, I'll go find out where it is.

As I walk towards the kitchen, a co-worker bursts out. I ask him about the missing breakfast.

CW: Oh, I think it's ready now! I'll just get it in a minute.

I go tell the SC that it is on it's way.

Nope, CW was mistaken. It wasn't her breakfast. I go over to her.

Me: Can I just see your receipt? Just so I can find out where it is.
SC: You never gave me one!

Liar. The hungover bitch looks through her bag. Oh wait, there's her reciept!

SC: Everyone has their breakfast except me!
Me: OK I will be back in two seconds.

I walk into the kitchen. Yeah, the order was lost. Our mistake, no biggy. I got the breakfast prepared in about five seconds and took it out. The lady had been waiting about two minutes for her breakfast. The other 19 hags had barely started theirs, so it wasn't as if she was the only person left eating.

Me: I'm sorry about that. Would you like a free drink for our mistake.
SC: OK, I'll have a pint of beer.

Yes, it is 9am.

Me: OK.

I get her the beer. All is well...no!

She sees the manager and runs over to him. All I see is her, arms waving, being dramatic and looking annoying. Manager was smiling. He does this when he knows he is dealing with an idiot.

Manager calls me over.

M: That lady just put in a complaint about you. She wanted you fired.
Me: For what?
M: She said you were rude, unhelpful, sexist and unproffesional.
Me: OK, so sorting out her problem, being friendly and getting her a free beer was rude?
M: Yes it was. Don't worry, I told the skank where to go.

I was livid. If she had stayed for longer I would have shown her what being rude, unhelpful, sexist and unproffesional was really like!

Giving customers free stuff sometimes backfires if they turn out to be SCs. She figured she got a free beer from you, so maybe she can get something even better from the manager.

Your manager rocks! I would've LOVED to see you show that old slag what's up.

I hate hen parties with a passion. I had a job at a nice brunch/teatime sort of shop that occasionally catered for parties. Every single time it was a hen party, all the staff was treated inhumanly and nothing resembling a tip came our way. Nasty, screetching, self-important, evil HAGS.

[calulu]

Buncha twunts! But it sounds like the sort I deal with all the time on the phone, self important with entitlement issues and nasty attitudes.

God I could write a book on hen parties. Every single week they come in. They all dress the same, wearing devil horns or bunny ears. They all drink the same (half pints) and they all act the same. Very self important.

One hen party got offended when we told them that, no, we could not let them wheel the bride to be around the bar in a shopping cart they had stolen.

Another got offended when we would not let them bring a stripper in at three in the afternoon.

One reported a co-worker to the manager after he refused to take his shirt off for them.

A group tried attacking a bar maid after she refused to give the bride to be a free drink.

And apparently throwing sex toys around the family dining area at lunchtime is appropriate.

And so on, and so on.

Ya know, I think there's a special place in hell for SC's who complain after getting a FREE ALCOHOLIC DRINK!!!!

Seriously, ???

"Everyone has their breakfast but me", repeated how many times? Stupid bitch.

I've never heard the term 'hen' party. That's pretty cool.

Eh, I'm sure we were totally obnoxious on the few I've gone to. But these women give a whole new meaning to the term.

Sorry you had to deal with that. Your manager rocks, tho.

I've had the exact opposite problem at a bachelorette party. My cousin's party was very PG-13. A few of the girls weren't able to get babysitters and the bride-to-be's mom and sister were prudes so we went to a semi-family place that had karaoke. Some one really dropped the ball at the restaurant. My aunt had called ahead to make sure there was room for our party. We were told yes there would be room and they'd be happy to have our party.

We get there and none of the servers or manger knew we were coming. It takes them awhile, but they find a place to fit all of us. That didn't bother anyone but my step-cousin and she was told to shut up. After were seated we order some drinks and in the case of me and my mom we order a salad and potato skins. The place wasn't that busy all things considering, so we figured is would be a little wait but not too long. It took the waitress a hour to get the food out. For most of that time we didn't see her at all. She took a few drink orders than disappeared for most of the night.

The bride starts to get pissed. Very few of us have gotten our drinks or food, so the maid-of-honor goes looking for someone. She gets the manager who says she will get our waitress right out with our food and drinks. About 10 minutes pass and finally our food gets to us after she tries to give it to about three other people even with me calling out "over here!"

A few minutes later the manager comes over and starts talking to the bride. We're being kicked out for excessive loudness. Evidently me call "over here" was too loud. :eyeroll: So we get the bill and there were all these drinks added to it that we hadn't ordered. While the waitress was ignoring us she was taking orders from a separate group and putting them on our tab. Not only that but she added on a $50 tip because of the size of our party. That's when all hell broke those.

We refused to pay for anything but what we ordered tip included. The waitress and the manager didn't like that. They argued with my aunt for a few minutes then threatened to call the cops. My aunt told them to go ahead. At this time me and my mom were taking the kids that were there (my 10 yr, 3yr, and 6 month old cousins) to my aunts van so they and we wouldn't be involved.

The cops got there and the restaurant thinks the party is going to be arrested yadda, yadda, yadda. They were in for a surprise. All the cops were drinking buddies of my aunts. They go over everything, told they restaurant that we didn't have to pay for the drinks that the waitress had tacked on from the other people who weren't with us, and that the tip was going to the bride.

The place ended up going under a few months later and is now a Chevy's. I'm glad other than the above story I had gotten food poisoning from there a few months before and they had gone down hill from what they had been when I was a kid.

I've never been to a bachelorette/hen party nor have I yet to have one of my own. One thing is for sure that I won't be a sucky bride and I don't have any sucky people on my team when that time comes.

I'm sure there are some "hen" parties out there that can go out, have a good time and not go over the top.

With that being said, I really don't like the other type of hen parties (being a customer, that is). My husband and I sometimes like to patronize a comedy club in Portland. I love the place, but they have to cater to bachelorette parties - which often results in a bunch of loud, giggly, drunk girls. They usually leave a big mess behind as well.

You'd think having a bacherlorette party at home would be the safer thing to do anyway ... that way you could have a stripper and get crazy drunk - that way no one was on the road either ...


Of course, I wouldn't know, because I never had a bachelorette party ... my husband didn't get a bachelor party either. We never even got a toast at our Wedding either ...

Around here, they have bus companies that specialize. The last one I went to rented an old school bus and a driver to take us around.

Part of me misses those days, but most of me is just glad to have survived them.

[marasbaras]

Oh, geez, you know ... as a man, I really hate it women women play the gender card. "Oh, stop being so sexist."

It's JUST LIKE the race card. Usually comes from a terminal sucky person.

If you're ever in Tennessee somewhere over here...look REALLY close up in the mountains area...I'll throw you a party...you don't mind drunk geeks and dorks right?

[MiloMorai]

You gave her a free beer....Great.

She went and complained after getting free beer....Wrong.

Go to table and remove free beer...."You get one or the other not both. Free beer or complain and try to get me fired."

Just let manager know that is your personal policy.


Enjoy the reaction from her going apeshit crazy and her friends laughing at her.

And as a woman - tell me about it.

Whenever I see a bunch of self-important broads screaming 'sexism' everytime somebody looks at them the wrong way, I just want to bludgeo- erm, I mean, run and hide from embarassment.
