Rudest Customer Ever

but if nobody puts people like them in their place, they'll just keep doing it.

Amen! It's called having some measure of standing up for yourself. I suppose the pp would take an a** whooping and just turn the other cheek. Why would he fight back since the two wrongs don't make a right? Like you said, you have to say something to these people or they just keep doing it. Maybe if enough people showed them just how much of an a** they are then they'd stop the behavior. Oh who am I kidding? They are entitled, so they'll never change. LOL

From the story, it is sounding like he was rejected and handled it like a typical little man would. Just guessing. But he probably was rude based on nothing related to the service he received, but rather his poor little hurt feelings.

Back in college days, I used to bartend at a place called Puckers. (before this gets banned/locked, that's Puckers with a P, like in Hockey puck).
We'd have men physically removed from the building by police because they attempted to slug women who turned them down for a drink/date. And this happened more than once or twice. On one occaison, some offended fellow attempted to have one of our hostesses fired because she would not go back to his motel room after work.

So my initial response to the article is believing that this rude customer was wearing a chip on his shoulder over being turned down by the waitress.
There is always a 2nd side to every story, like a pp mentioned. But if I were betting on this, I'd say it had nothing to do with customer service.

Because likely if it were her fault he would have left the tip line empty like everyone else instead of being an a**hat and putting the remarks he did. Those remarks about her weight seem like an effort to dismiss the fact that he might have asked her out and got rejected.

If being told she needs to lose a few pounds is the worst thing some creep says to her I'd say she's doing pretty well. I think too often people get too worked up over things they can't change. Her posting on facebook isn't going to change the fact that the guy is a jerk and his behavior is much more of a reflection of him than it is of her.

I certainly believe that there are times when its important to stand up to someone- if it were me this wouldn't be one of those times and facebook wouldn't have been the route I would have taken. But that's just me.

I don't seem to remember saying that it was the worst thing she has had said to her. Where did you get that? And if you want to continue being someone's doormat then fine, but don't criticize those of us that actually do something about idiots like this. Of course she couldn't confront him face to face because I'm sure the coward had long since left before she got the message. And please don't act like this idiot's behavior is excusable. It's not. As for her posting the message online, good for her. Make sure everyone that see's this and that knows he was at the establishment that night knows how big of an a-hole he is. I hope someone he knows has seen the story and says something to him. When my friend says these kinds of things it is #1, to just us and not the girl. And #2, he is an a-hole for doing it too and we tell him. My God, stop propogating this behavior by simply ignoring it. It's too bad he didn't leave her his phone number. That would have been great. I'd have called it.

I'm not criticizing anyone. I was simply stating my opinion on the matter. I don't agree with the way either of them handled the situation and really don't see what posting the receipt on Facebook really accomplished. The guy is a jerk and I'm sure today he's still a jerk- he's probably even worse. I'm not sure what I said that sounded as though I was excusing his behavior because I certainly don't.

That's all I have to say on the matter. Have a good evening. :wave:
