arewethereyet

oh and the "that's coming out of their tip" comment... classic. OHHHHH NOOOOO! oh please, please, please tip me!!! I want your $2.50, I need that money!! I take back everything I said!! In fact, you're the skinniest, most lean, trim, ripped person I've ever seen!! You can have all the alfredo sauce and chocolate cake that you want! Just please, please, please tip me!! If you don't, my power is going to be turned off, and I'm going to be evicted! All because I didn't get your 2 bucks! My life is over!!

I used to work at a "finer" restaurant that had you bring over the tray of desserts to show people, you know, desserts that have plastic ice cream on top of the real apple pie so it looks a la mode, well, if I had a dollar for every time someone said, "THose are all low cal right?" And then proceed to laugh-hehehehe, oh yawn, let's just all agree to stop doing that okay?

now we are talking! that is a funny server comment.......or making you run to the back to see if we have any hot chocolate during the evening rush, only to order coffee upon your return......eyeroll!!

Personally I don't care what my server thinks of me, no matter what I order, if they give me bad service I just don't tip. I also don't have a problem with talking to the manger about lousy service. If big people would not go out to eat anymore servers and weighters wouldn't make much money. Remember never to bite the hand that feeds you.
I am at the restaurant to enjoy my meal with my friends or family, I don't make a lot of fuss and I am very easy to please. MAybe those servers ( in good fun) could make a lot more money if they wouldn't make smart remarks or jokes about their customers, because sometimes that kind of comes through.

What a dumb, politically correct society we live in! I dare to crack one joke about fat people, and everyone is so bent out of shape! Geez!

Anyone remember the opening scene in Reservoir Dogs? Hilarious.

I know it was all meant in good fun, but people WERE insulted by it. Maybe they don't understand your sense of humor (trust me, I have a weird sense of humor that some people don't udnerstand, lol). But I think the smart remarks and everything in response to other people's posts were inappropriate.
Just my two cents.

um... ya... we would probably all be better off not stepping another foot into an Olive Garden. What a dumb, politically correct society we live in! I dare to crack one joke about fat people, and everyone is so bent out of shape! Geez!

I am sorry you disagree with me. I removed my post after rethinking it. I anticiapted this exact response.

It is never funny to make fun of another person. Especially if that person is paying your bills.

jerren

eh, I get her humor. I also understand why those who are insulted took offense to the post. You just have to be careful with these types of jokes.

Man you guys are cranky! I don't think anyone meant to be mean at all.

I should have gone with what I originally wanted to say, which was simply "trace the ABCs with your tongue..." in response to your "Some eating out advice" headline. ;-)

Best line of the day! Though that method is for amateurs:P

Thanks for the chuckle Red01Angel.

Now I feel all self conscious....
I was a server at a very upscale steakhouse while in college and I'd cry a little bit inside every time someone ordered their beef well done. It's their money and their prerogative if they wanted to eat a $50 lump of charcoal, but it was such a tragic waste of AMAZING meat...
Might be a bit judgmental, but i couldn't help but think of the poor, prime grade, delicious cow who died just to be ruined. :-P

i have a funny "fat girl" story...

the other night my boyfriend and i were returning late from a long bike ride (almost 20 mile trip). we had gone down for a business meeting and as we were leaving noticed that there were some tiki torches for sale at a grocery store for a very inexpensive price.

so we bought 10. i put 5 on my bike and he put 5 on his bike strapped to the handlebars.

at that point in the day when it's no longer dusk but not quite night, where the light is so faint, i made out two people on the path and so i didn't hit them with my torches, i yelled "wide load, coming through"

the girl stops and says, "oh, don't be silly."

and i was like "no, seriously." pointing at torches. "wide load."

hahaha

you actually cracked like 4 of them, but for those of us that don't care what *kitten* think, it doesn't matter.
