“I worked fast food for 10 years.
They’re paid to clean up after you.'”
“And sure enough, the table and floor was disgusting after they left.
What does the mom think of that?
Clearly nothing if she didn’t stop it.

‘A side of mustard.’
‘Sure, no problem.’
I go get a ramekin, fill it with mustard, bring it to the guests.
‘And an iced tea.’
‘Yep, sure thing.’
Go back to make the iced tea, bring it over.
‘And some extra napkins.’
Go back and get the fucking napkins.
Bring it to them.

Look at the nice lady, Mikey.
Tell the nice lady what you want to eat.

Do you want eggy?
Okay, tell the nice lady you want eggy.
Mikey: [Incoherent mumbling] Parent: He said hell have eggs.
Looks back down at Mikey.
Okay, now do you want cheesy eggy?
Do you want cheesy eggy or dippy eggy?

“Someone modifying a menu item into a completely different item.
If you dont like whats in this, why change it so drastically that its now its own thing?
Kitchen might mess it up and you will take it out on the waiter.
