A really obese couple came in and hobbled to my station. The woman (in her 40s) ordered a shirley temple (sprite with grenadine). Within 2 minutes she downed her entire drink and began making slurping noises with her straw before waving her glass in the air. I brought her a refill and she continued drinking quickly. A few minutes later I went to get another refill – after she interrupted me while I was taking another table’s order to request one. The bartender thought adding more grenadine would make her slow down so he added twice the normal amount of grenadine.
Unfortunately, the additional sugar did not deter the obese woman and in 5 more minutes she needed another refill. This time we added even more grenadine – thinking there was no way it was even drinkable this time. By this time, the couple’s food had arrived and they had begun eating. She finished her drink shortly after her food arrived and requested another drink. The bartender filled the glass over halfway with grenadine and topped it off with sprite. I fully expected her to complain but she didn’t. She drank the entire drink in two swallows and requested the check. Her and her obese husband paid their bill, stiffed me, and wobbled away.
For the record, she had 5 drinks in 22 minutes. We used almost half a bottle of grenadine.
I hope she enjoys her diabetes.
That’s disgusting.
These are the same people that think the government has a duty to provide them with free health care. I hope they were on there way to a roulette table.
“20 on red”. Thats what shes gonna be wiping on her next trip to the ladies room.
ick…and I suppose it was free refills? I would’ve wanted to charge her just to stop the madness.
That last drink made me sick. ew.
