We're out of fruit
Mar 08, 2010
My husband informed me yesterday that I have a rude tone with servers at restaurants.Case in point, yesterday:
I order a sandwich that is supposed to come with fruit. She brings my sandwich with a big pile of fries.
I said "I thought this was supposed to come with fruit."
"We're out of fruit."
Auughh. "I can't eat these," I say. I'll admit, my tone was not pleasant. Would yours?
She doesn't offer me anything else. Granted, there were four meals worth of sandwich in front of me. But still --she should have offered some soup or a teeny salad. SOMETHING!
Before that she messed up the table's drink order. And there weren't any other customers in the restaurant.
But he sez I had a rude tone with the server. And I've always had a rude tone with servers, but because I tip well he knows I'm not a nasty person!! OMG!
My grandmother, my mother and my two sisters have all waited table. Maybe I just expect too much. But really.
