The Way This Girl Treated The Waitress Got Her Dumped By Her Boyfriend On Valentine’s Day

As anybody who has ever worked in the service industry knows, it can be a love/hate way to make a living. Dealing personally with strangers on a regular basis is sure to introduce you to a broad spectrum of human interactions, from polite, kind and sweet customers, to those you never, ever want to see again.

The subreddit Tales From Your Server is a place where service industry workers come together to share their stories. One user, lustfulspiritanimal, decided to tell her story of an eventful Valentine’s Day while working as a waitress in a restaurant. There were, as you can imagine, a lot of couples dining together that evening, but one couple in particular became the center of attention.

This is definitely a customer from hell story. However there is more to it than that, as this customer was duly served her just desserts. They say you can call a lot about a person by how they treat someone there to serve them, and I think it’s fair to say that this boyfriend found out a lot more than he bargained for.

Scroll down below to check out the story for yourself, and share your own experiences in the service industry in the comments!

Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

I judge a person's worth by how they treat waitstaff, cashiers, clerks, attendants, animals & the elderly. If they're not kind to these then they won't be kind to you.

I add little kids in there, too. People who can be patient with kids are usually decent.

Exactly! That kind of behavior is a red flag for me. And definitely a relationship killer. I also don’t understand why you would mistreat the people who are handling the food you’ll be putting in your mouth soon.

I usually like to have a bit of a joke with them, what do you think of me

You should probably list the people you're okay with someone being unkind to so the rest of us who don't fit in one of your protected groups will know not to count on you.

As former waitress, it still stuns me that people disrespect the person that has complete control over their food. While most waitstaff wouldn’t do anything for a little revenge, some would and have.

Not only waitstaff, but kitchen staff as well. When I worked at this restaurant, which was located inside a high-end resort in Wisconsin, I witnessed one of the chefs spit in the maître d's food as he plated it. That maître d' was also my boss. I understand wanting revenge, but that's just not cool.

You never know what is going on with the person who acts out. They may just be having a bad go, act out inappropriately. Responding in a overly unwarranted way may feel good, but like someone else said. Not cool. You have to be the bigger person. Granted in that type of job it happens all too often, but always best just to think. For the normal person who was having a bad day. They will feel bad for what they did later and will realize their actions were cruel. For the crazy a******s out there. Well they will get theirs at some point.

Thus is the number one warning sign you are dating a jerk, if only because one day that person will treat you in the same manner. It betrays their lack of empathy and respect.

Good point! Never think that someone who treats anyone else like s**t won´t do that to you.
