10 minutes to blast off

I think maybe some people can't tell time?
Like, when a table walks in when it is 10 minutes to close on a Saturday night. 
So I give some people the benefit of the doubt and think maybe they just cant read the clock, or possibly the sign outdoors that says we close in ten minutes. And by the way, that means ten minutes.
It does not mean your inside before we lock the door, so now you can sit as long as you want and wait for 3 other people to show up (15 minutes after close) before ordering.
It doesn't mean you order 5 well done steaks.
It doesn't mean you get to yell at me across the restaurant just because you are the only table still here.
It does not mean you should order a dessert 45 minutes after the kitchen has closed and make me beg the cooks to still make it.
It also doesn't mean you tip $7 on a $85 dollar bill.


Thanks :)

  1. I don't understand how people can be that rude. They know you're closing! They know it now means you have to be there later! It really pisses me off. I would never do that to someone.

  2. I really love this blog. I used to have a friend who worked in the food service industry and I would always question her about her day and what she encountered. So, what was the absolute worse customer you've ever had? And do you think it's more insulting to receive a penny or something for a tip or no tip at all? I would say the penny since it's obviously they're trying to offend you.

  3. Man! Some people have completely forgotten that other people still live on the planet, not them.
