A party of four guys in their early twenties were seated in my section tonight. I offered them some drinks and when I told them the price of our sodas, all but one requested water. I overheard them loudly talking about how outrageous our prices are. One guy in particular, Giggles, was deeply, deeply amused by them. When I returned to take their order, he laughed the entire time. Every time one of his friends ordered something or inquired about the price of something, Giggles laughed and said something under his breathe like, “Man this shit is ridicaliiiis.” When it was time for him to order he ordered a burger (extra well done) and some fries. When I asked him if he wanted cheese on his burger Giggles replied, “Nah. Hell Nah, I aint paying a dolla for no cheese.”
The rest of the table’s visit was pretty uneventful. They messily ate and talked loudly about banging chicks. They also complained that women are a “bunch of bitches” but it’s worth putting up with their shit to “stick your dick in it.” After they finished eating, I offered them dessert. They were appalled by the thought of spending another dollar and declined. When I presented their check, they were shocked that I had the audacity to assume they wanted 1 single check, instead of 4 separate ones. I took my sweet ass time separating their check at the cashier’s and dropped them off a few minutes later.
Three paid with cash. One guy gave me $40 for a $25 check and then complained when I counted his $15 dollar change back. He said, “No, that’s wrong. I gave you $40 and my check was only $25.” I had to actually write the math down on a piece of paper in an attempt to prove that I wasn’t short changing him. Truthfully, me doing this didn’t convince him. Instead his friend intervened and got out his cell phone calculator.
Giggles handed me a $20 and told me to keep the change. His check was $19.48. Underwhelmed by his generosity, I brought back his change and politely counted it back to him.
The one guy who ordered a soda paid with a credit card and tipped me a little over 20%. He also saw that his dirtbag friend intended to tip $.52 and gave Giggles two more dollars.
Giggles took this opportunity to thank me for my service but instead of thanking me, he deeply flattered me by saying, “Hey girl, let me get your digits.” To which I replied, “Um, No. I don’t think so.” Then I made a face like I just smelled someone else’s rag pussy and walked away.
I watched as the four guys clumsily left, one man tipped his water on the way out and spilled it all over my $6 tip.

They’re probably certain you’ll now be forced to go home, gorge yourself on ice cream, and play “Hello Kitty: The Home Edition”.
that’s what I’m doing right now.
WOW. At least there was one decent tipper among the group. No accounting for the lack of class….and intelligence. You NEVER piss off your server—EVER. Unless you like the taste of spit, dirt and whatever else they may decide to decorate your food with. As a general rule….people suck. I work as a tech manager and get escalations from my reps all the time from rude people that think service should be free and that the terms of service shouldn’t apply to them. Don’t let them get you down!
Men can be so clueless at times. After hearing all of that “fancy” dinner conversation, how could he honestly think that you would even consider an offer from him? Crazy kids!
Wow…how do these guys ever find ‘chicks’ to go out with them? Idiots.
(Just been sent to your blog via twitter. As an ex-waitress I am looking forward to reading your posts, there were always some interesting characters when I was working in a restaurant.)
I think it’s easier to get laid in Vegas because the women who come here put out for free drinks.

I just came back from one of my every six months or so trip to Las Vegas. I alway go by myself because my wife isn’t crazy about the place. I ususally eat in the casino “cafe”. I am no trouble. I often bring something to read and I tip very well because I realize that I am tying up a table that could be used by two to four people. I dress nice and do not look like a bum. I address my server with respect and in a friendly manner. Why do I get treated with such indiference by the wait staff. If I need more coffee or more jelly, etc.. I can just forget it. I ususally get my coffee cup refiled just before it is time to deliver the check. I guess the waitstaff thinks that will make up for the neglect. I always stay respectable and deliver at least a 25% tip anyway. Why is this happening? It seems to get worse as time goes by.
Maybe you are eating at the wrong places. Cafes are known for being crowded and understaffed. I’m sure they aren’t doing it intentionally. Maybe they leave you alone because they think that’s what you want – since you are reading. I can’t account for the bad service you get without witnessing it first hand. I love single diners. They hardly ever get drunk and annoy me.

And guys like that wonder why it is they never get laid.
Wow, you sure put up with a lot. Sorry there are so many idiots
You seem to get assholes by the dozen. What the hell can you be doing to attracting them?
I know young men come to Vegas partially to get laid. Hell, they go to the corner 7-11 hoping to get laid. But being rude in public about it? They may has well look to the cat for fun! I would have expected such stupid, blatant behavior from teenagers but by something over twenty-one I would have hoped for something better.
