Always wanted to apologize for this...

[Kheldarson]

So this is an old sighting...but if anybody on here has ever worked at Ryan's, this is my sincerest apologies for never being able to stop these idiots.

As I've said in other posts, I used to work summers at a Boy Scout camp. We'd get one evening off (4pm to 1am technically but the rule really was as long as you made it back for 7:20 line up, you're good) and then Sat. noon to Sun. noon. Most of us stuck together and would head out and do things. Like find real food.

One of the easiest places to go was Ryan's. And while the group I hung out with was a consistent five, occasionally we'd also join up with other groups. So there'd be anywhere from a dozen to 20 of us eating.

This is where my sighting comes in.

Some of the guys would inevitably start mixing things up in glasses, daring others to eat it. Then after making a mess of the glasses, they'd load a dinner plate full of desserts, including ice cream, and then eat only a little, letting the rest melt.

The worst part was then, when we're leaving, they'd hide the tips! Like start stacking cups together, and stick a couple of dollars between cups. Or digging a hole in the melting ice cream and put money there. Then when I got mad and said they shouldn't do that, they'd merely say that it was to make the waiter work for it.

So...my sincerest apologies to anybody who ever had that done to them, my group or not. I tried to fix it...but I usually wasn't driving either. >.<

Had an occasion like that after the last Rocky Horror Shadow Cast I went to. The next day was my ultimatum day, either I was going to be moving back to the parents', or I was going to be lucky enough to have found a friend who would let me stay with her.
Said friend, and a group of others we met up with at Rocky, went out to an IHOP after the show (so, three in the morning). I'm getting looks, cause I was dressed en femme. I tell our waitress we just came from Rocky, she says, "I know. We get you guys every week about this time."
No one had any money, due to spending at the show, so, we're hardly even buying food. I got a bowl of ice cream and a drink. Someone got a platter sort of thing with breakfast foods. Including sausages. Yes, fall in the gutter, it's okay, cause he started getting dirty with them, for whatever reason.
Later, the guy I hated because he took such a dim view on transgendered people starts adding butter to his drink. And I'm sitting right next to him, trying not to throw up on him. Our server, being bizarrely awesome, sees one of our group filling his drink with the whipped topping from his... pie? So she goes and gets a new drink made for him, complete with whipped topping and cherries! And she dares him to eat the whip topping in one motion. And only now do I realize she was getting in some fun.
Four of our group suddenly paired up to make out... at our table, and they're being really obvious about it, and slinging double entendre like it were the only words they knew.
The rest of us were yelling and cursing and generally being a nuisance. I over-tipped with what little I had in my wallet, blushing my head off at the ignominy of it all.
