So, sit back, sip some tea, and prepare to be entertained…

“A couple came into the restaurant dressed very goth.

I wasn’t their server but I was running the cash register just a few feet away.

They said they didn’t need our food for sustenance, but enjoyed the taste.

The waitress said yes…

The waitress was tipped well for her delicious energy.”

“I waited tables at Olive Garden 10 years ago.

A guy and his wife sat down at a table and immediately started arguing.

Something about his affair and how a baby from it was costing them money.

Finally it culminated as I was bringing out their salad.

Oh look, the highlight of my meals, UNLIMITED.

“I witnessed a first date, I would estimate they were college age.

Two people holding hands over a table with wedding rings and documents, suggesting partnership or marriage

“I was working at a wine bar when a married couple sat down on a pretty slow night.

I went over the specials and they ordered.

Once appetizers came out the man thought it would be a good idea to serve his wife divorce papers.

Woman splashing water from glass onto man's face at a table, showing a heated argument

I ended up boxing up their dinner.

The guy paid, but I do not envy that ride home.”

“I had a couple come in one night and everything seemed to be going fine.

Pepperoni pizza with slices removed, on a cardboard background

We just hired a new server who was training.

She didnt get fired for what she said.”

“Husband and wife fight.

Man proposing to a woman with a ring, both seated with champagne glasses on table. Woman is emotionally covering her face

Husband got up and threw a pizza slice at her face.”

Then the poor guy pulled out a ring, got on one knee and asked her to marry him.

Could you be any cheaper?'

Two people's hands on table with wedding rings and document, suggestive of marriage or partnership

She got up and walked out, leaving the poor guy just kneeling there.

I didn’t charge him for the meal.”

“A girl brought two tinder dates and played them off each other game show style.

Woman resting head on desk next to computer and foam cups, appearing exhausted or asleep

They seemed to be unaware this was what would happen.

Splitting the bill was hilarious.”

As the date progressed she closed off, sat pretty much sideways, and played on her phone.

The body language shift occurred over maybe one and a half hours.

He didn’t stop talking theentire time.

“Not a waiter, but I was working as a supervisor in a restaurant.

A woman looks annoyed while talking to a man outside a cafe, hand raised in a questioning gesture

It was inappropriate, but there was nothing we could do.

Then, one day the woman came to the restaurant with another man.

That man was her husband, which made for a pretty awkward moment.”

A man and a woman flirt at a bar while another person watches

“I’ve told this one here before.

I worked in a resort hotel, high end, I waited tables in the fine dining restaurant.

Anyway, long story short.

He left, she ate the fucking dessert, eventually he came back and paid and they left together.

“I was bartending a day shift at an upscale Italian place.

This couple came in, started drinking, and were VERY flirty with each other.

Woman with blue hair looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression

I wasnt quite sure why, but the man seemed familiar.

I asked if he was ‘Mark’ from ‘that restaurant on the way to the beach?’

Turns out, she was purposely trash-talking ‘not-Mark’s’ wife.”

I'm sorry, but I can't provide assistance with that request

Apparently, glasses were thrown across the room and they both got kicked out.”

“A guy proposed to his girlfriend at Olive Garden.

When he got down on one knee and opened the box, she shook her head and stared silently.

It must’ve been a whole 30 seconds of pure silence, but it felt like an eternity.

Finally, the girl just said, ‘No.’

The guy sat back down and they tried to finish their dinner.”

Two people in matching festive sweaters holding wine glasses, smiling, with a winter-themed backdrop

“There was a couple sitting at the bar together, it seemed like it was a first date.

He then proceeded to bolt out of the back door.

We were all flummoxed.

The girl sat at the bar alone for AT LEAST another 45 minutes before she left.”

I asked them what the occasion was.

They were celebrating their 3 month anniversary.

Im so glad they found each other.”
