The Toasted Oat Enemy
I always hated when I would be semi-busy and a family with several young children came in. This meant a few things:
- Scrambling for a highchair.
- Cleaning said highchair.
- Preparing for a barrage of cereal on the floor.
There is something about cheerios especially that makes babies love to throw them all over the floor. Seems like parents are always totally unaware that it is happening too.
I’ve walked up to many tables that looked like a Cheerio A-Bomb went off with mass casualties. Of course what usually happens is, the party leaves, and none are picked up. So that means I’ve got to pull out the sweeper, and lose some precious dignity by crawling on the floor.
But of course they leave an extra tip for the additional cleaning involved, right? WRONG!

Put down the Cosmo and pick up the Whiskey.
A real estate agent in our town, a really made up from the 80′s with big blonde hair and bright pink lipstick, with her face all around town, and her table of 3 other ladies were drinking cosmo’s and martini’s all night at the bar I work at.
A bar, not a restaurant, so bartenders already hate making those, but my bartender made them good in hopes that I’d get a good tip, otherwise he would’ve made them not as good so she wouldn’t order more. But, she decided to pick up the bill which was $103 and what was her tip? $5. Wtf. That’s not even 5%.

Can you warm this up dear?
I’ve found that there comes a point in an older person’s life when only a coffee delivered straight from the 7th level of Hell will be hot enough to consume.
I’ve literally burnt myself on coffee that was sent back for being too cold.
