Hubby and I have had a chaotic week so we decided to get together for lunch for some time together. We really try to eat at the non-chain restaurants when we can, but there’s just some of those mom and pop places where ‘mom’ hovers over the children. (Of course it can happen anywhere…) It’s too mild for the Pit, but this place is notorious for the hover waitress. :mad:
To wait staff that overstay their welcome while we eat our food:
I understand our daughter is cute, and she gives you that smile or wink that just melts your heart - love at first sight. You try and strike up a conversation in some foreign baby language that our 19 month old doesn’t understand. Our daughter isn’t causing any problems and is happily playing at the table and really doesn’t need outside entertainment at the moment.
Please take our order?
She tries to hand the crayons and coloring paper back to you and tells you ‘dirty.’ It’s not a picture for you, she wants you to throw it away. Her parents are trying to carry on a conversation about plans for the weekend, what we did that morning and how soon daddy needs to get back to work. Our food is falling all over the plate, and we’re trying to look civilized as we gulp down our food so we can get out.
More napkins please?
I just want to eat my seriously messy fried fish sandwich in peace while I talk to my husband, okay? GO AWAY! If you ask her to say ‘buh bye,’ she probably won’t say it, cause she doesn’t know you, and asking 20 times won’t help either.
Thank you,
Just wants peace while eating
I feel better now.
