A hazard of working in a Chinese restaurant is when the little rat kids start using the chopsticks as drumsticks. Today, one table's kids were banging them against the bowls, plates and even against the mirrors lining the sides of the booths.
Another group of customers, this time on one of the tables with the lazy susans, had the kids banging against the lazy susan and I was seriously about to throttle them.
The parents were doing what they could to get their kids to stop, I only made it complete by asking if I should take the chopsticks away.
We switched over to using metal chopsticks from plastic ones, not sure why, so the excuse is that banging them can chip the porcelain. Heck, when I asked one table a while back not to do it, they seriously asked me why not. I relented a little when I gave the brats some wooden ones we include in the takeout.
But seriously, if one more rat-faced brat uses the goddamn chopsticks as drumsticks again, I will throttle them.
