so.... my parents own a restaurant and I help them there by serving.
This has happened many times before but its just getting to the point where I wanna grab their phones and keep it behind the counter till they are done eating.
I think its ok to use your phone during dinner if the person ur with doesn''t mind, but please turn it off when you''re ordering food.
Incident 1:
woman by herself, I got over to greet her, she has her bluetooth in her ear covered by hair and I say HI. Her finger goes up in my face to shoosh me and laughs hysterically at whatever the person in the phone said... her phonecall wasnt even important. she was talking to her girlfriend about something stupid. And then when i say ok i will be back, she says nuh uh, and points at waht she wants and i ask her a question about the meal she picks and she shooshes me again! what sucks is i have to be nice cuz 1) its my parents business/life and 2) i want a taip
Incident 2:
i go to greet a couple and they are NOT on their phone. Mid ordering, the phone starts to ring VERY loudly. Instead of silencing it, the guy gets the phone and is like "WAASSSSUUUPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! nono, I can talk. We are just having dinner. blah blah..." well, u would be having dinner if you would finish ordering so I can go put your order in!!!
Incident 3:
Another couple, i go greet, I didnt know the guy was on his phone. Usually I do wait to greet someone until they are done cuz the phone call could be important. But this time I didnt see that he was holding the phone. So i say hello and i ask how they are and the lady just gives me a blank stare. and now its awkward so i ask if they want anything to drink and she ignores me... so i ask again thinking she didnt hear me and she says "cant you see he in on the phone? come back later!"
so i did, wayyyyyyy later.
Incident 4:
SPEAKER PHONE... this isnt just about me now... its about everyone in the restaurant. This group of 3 were done eating, and so they called their friend on SPEAKER PHONE, put the phone in the middle of the table and starting singing karoake with the guy on the phone.... we are not a bar by the way,nor do we serve alcohol... so no they WERE NOT DRUNK.
Incident 5:
This was a coworkers table... they were in the middle of eating when they got a phone call. They were already loud to begin with and I actually had 2 of my tables ask to be moved to the other side of the restaurant far away from them. So phone call....
"what up motherf***er!!!!
"Haha you''re so f***ing hilarious!"
And the conversation goes on with every other word being every single intense swear word there is. and then he hears something he doesn''t like so he starts to get angry and is now yelling the f word and saying hes gonna go kill a motherf***er and bust a cap in their f***ing a**. and a bunch other other things that I dont wanna say....
Incident 6:
texting has become a problem too, people dont even look up at me anymore. THey are too busy texting so they have their face in their phone and their fingers are going like 100 mph... dont get me wrong, i text like a maniac too but there are times that you are supposed to put the phone down...(ie driving! ordering food! paying! having a conversation with people!) even for 2 minutes to order
anyway... sorry for the rant... Im just getting tired of the people that have no common courtesy to treat me like a human being...
