Hey all, haven't posted in awhile, not much to report these days. 
Today though, I seriously felt like I was an extra in a movie, because this was the kind of thing that only happens in Hollywood.
RainRoommate and I were having a quick lunch at a small diner by our apartment. It was pretty busy so the staff were understandably running around trying to do alot at once. I know every restaraunt customer has certain expectations of the waitstaff but I would like to think even the dimmest among us would understand that diners are a more relaxed atmosphere.
So these two guys in suits get sat in the booth next to ours and holy-giraffe-on-stilts these guys were being SCs in every possible way. I swear, listening to them, it sounded like they were TRYING to be assholes to their server. If they had been cast as SCs in a movie they could not have done a better job. I actually made a damn list of everything they did.
1. Their waters were too cold, and the server had not brough enough lemons (they never asked for extra lemons and sent her back twice for more.)
2. They made fun of the server's name to her face.
3. They complained about how crowded it was.
4. They complained about a phantom smell (I was sitting right next to them, smelled nothing amiss)
5. They complained about the lack of variety on the menu
6. They complained about the prices
7. When they were done ordering, they literally threw their menus at the server (not overhand or anything, just kind of tossed it in her general direction, I thought it was rude)
8. They complained about the noise of other customers and the kitchen.
9. They BOTH sent their food back before the server had even put the plates down, saying it "looks like someone spit in it!" yes, seriously. Funny thing is they probably weren't wrong.
10. They loudly complained about the food as they both shoveled it down.
11. When she came around once to ask how things were, one of these dickheads farted in her direction and said "that's how!"
* I should point out that by now it was clear the poor girl taking care of these dickless wonders was crying everytime she left their table*
12. They complained about the food AGAIN to her manager, after they had eaten it all of course. He did not comp or even discount their meal. (I think by this point every person working there knew about these two assholes.)
13. They paid in cash, and left her maybe a few cents for a tip.
When she came over to get their tab, and saw what they had left her, I swear I saw something in this girls' eyes. The dickheads were walking out of the restroom (where they no doubt had just finished pissing while spinning in a circle just in case they hadn't ruined enough people's days)
She flew at them, literally hurled the few coins they left in their faces and proceeded to LOUDLY admonish them in a way that would have left anyone's soul as a smoking ruin. She used curse words I had never heard of before, and I used to be in the military. She called them out on everything they had done and how they failed as human beings. I wish I could remember it word for word but watching it was just surreal. After she was done, she looked over to her manager, who I think was feeling some kind of proud horror at what he was seeing, and said.
"Bob (not real name) I don't care that you have to fire me now, these two needed this."
She turned back to the two guys.
"Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you both again!"
And with that, ladies and gentlemen, that girl took off her apron, held her head high, and walked out of there with a smile on her face. Unbelievable.

and her boss should have stepped in way before it escalated to that. maybe it's good that she did quit because he wasn't doing his job.
