The other night my guy and I decided to eat at Golden Corral. We had just found our table and put our drinks down when a group of people started hollering at the bus lady, now mind you the whole group was hollering Ma'm to get her attention but one woman at the table takes the cake with her rudeness. She screams out Ma'm WOULD YOU MOVE THESE PLATES YOU LEFT HERE!!! LIKE NOW!!!
Oh my God!! I was appauled at the nerve of her rudeness!! I don't know if the bus lady had just gathered the plates from their table and got sidetracked, I noticed when I glanced over there that there were pitchers of pop, so I am assuming that she stopped to refill their drinks and had left some dirty plates on the table in the process. I don't think that is a big deal in itself, I think you could let the lady know without being a bitch about it.
Well there is more to the story..the bus lady had a tray stacked with plates that she placed on the table next to us so she could bus that table and one of the stacks of plates fell onto the floor, poor lady, how embarrassing, so she cleans that up and as soon as she is done another stack crashes to the floor!! I felt so sorry for her, she kept apologizing to us and we kept telling her that is was okay, accidents happened and that she was doing a fine job, and yes I was saying this loud enough so the bitch at the other table could hear! I was impressed that she remained calm about the whole situation, even after the bitch was mean to her!
I decided that she deserved a big tip for putting up with what she had to do, she was not our server but after we were done eating I walked up to her and handed her ten dollars and said I was sorry the other people were mean to her and that she was doing a good job! She was really suprised, I did not make a scene about it, although I thought I should say it loud so the bitch could hear, but I did not want the bus lady to be embarrassed.
I hope that it made her night, the thing that really got to me was that the fact that the bus lady was older, maybe in her 50's and the woman who was rude must have been in her late 30's or early 40's plus had kids (teens) with her, so what happened to respect for your elders and what does that teach your teenagers about respect for others?

You did the right thing, and most definitly made her night by doing that.
I also love the Simpsons' parody, Golden Trough. We don't have anything quite like it in Canada, and now that my hubby has a job in the US I'll be travelling with him sometimes. Gotta check this out.
