To the waitress at that Chinese restaurant...
13 years ago
You have my respect.
So today, our family went out to this really nice banquet style chinese restaurant for my grandfathers birthday. This restaurant is often quite in demand, and reservations are pretty much necessary if you want to get a table.
We got seated and as we were ordering, I noticed these two young caucasian ladies come in with one asian woman, and they seemed to not be taking no for an answer as the man at the head counter was telling them that there were no tables available, to which one woman would argue "nobody is sitting at them now", which was true, but they had them reserved for a party coming in in 40-45 ish minutes apparently. The woman continued to argue until the man finally gave up and let them get a table. A waitress brought them to the table and was explaining to them "we need this table cleared in less than an hour so try to order as quickly as you can." The woman then ended up talking for a while, eyeing the menu, and one of them got up to use the phone outside. So the waitress came back and calmly said to them: "Sorry, but remember we need this table and you have under an hour" and one of the woman literally cut her off screaming in her face "WE KNOW, PLEASE GO AWAY, SHEESH" The waitress simply laughed it off and was like "ok ok".
If that had happened to me, I think I would have either kicked them out, or poured a bucket of water on their heads, but that waitress handled it very well, even as the woman stated "Wow what a (blank)" as the waitress was walking off blatantly loud enough for the waitress to hear.
Another waiter and the waitress joked about those woman in chinese which was funny though, haha.
But good gosh, just be grateful you could even eat there when the whole restaurant is really going out of their way to try to make things good for you.

wow i kinda would have handled it like her but seriously those women are rude to shout like that because they have to respect that they even let them have a table and could have escorted them to a new table once the reservation arrived or something.
