Attention Waiters and Waitresses:
YES I WANT MY GODDAMNED CHANGE!!! WHERE DO YOU GET OFF TRYING TO SOLICIT TIPS!??
I went to a friend's 'send-off' at a chain steak-house on Friday. First the waitress tells me that they can't cook my burger to medium - only well-done. Meanwhile the guy next to me gets an "El Paso Salad" that shows up with sirloin slices THAT ARE RARE. THERE'S FRIGGIN BLOOD COAGULATING WITH HIS RANCH DRESSING AND I CAN'T GET A DAMNED MEDIUM BURGER??? WTF!!!
Afterward, the waitress brings me my bill - $10.48. I put down a $20 and 2 quarters.
"Did you want your change?"
NO, I WAS PLANNING ON GIVING YOU A FUCKING 99% TIP FOR THE GODDAMNED HOCKEY PUCK WITH CHEESE ON IT. OF COURSE I WANT MY CHANGE!!!
Saturday, I took the wife and kids out to a chain burger joint for dinner. Fish & Chips for me, a burger for the missus, a corndog and a burger for the kids - drinks all around. Total price $35.85. I put down 2 $20s and leave a $5 in the middle of the table.
"I'll be back with your change"
My faith is partially restored... only to be shattered when she came back around 10 minutes later.
"You're not waiting for change are you?"
"Uh, yeah" and you just screwed yourself out of a dollar. I grabbed up the $5 and left the 4 singles on the table.
