so last night was my first night at a new restarant job as a waitress. ive done waitressing before, so im experienced.
a group of 5 kids my age (19) walk in and they were my second table on my very first night. one of them recognized me as a classmate in the college i attend.
basically they gave me a hard time about EVERYTHING! when i put a soda down, they asked it to be switched to a different one, no ice, etc.
To make it worse, one of the dishes got sent back because they thought it was going to be like "chinese" chicken they claimed.
I could deal with that to an extent. But they left no tip! ? And this kid sits right next to me in a small class of like 7. How do i act around him? do i say that was messed up? or do i let it go and just never be their waitress again if they come in
If they come back to your job, you do have to treat them like you would a regular customer. It's sad, but there's nothing you can do about it at work. You can, however, ask someone to take their table for you because of how rude they were to you last time. I learned that works best.

I can understand your frustration. Some people think that their jokes are so clever. I think you should ignore him when you get to class unless prodded to talk to him by the professor. I also think that you should request another table if he comes in so you don't have to deal with him. [ QueenofDiamonds's advice column | Ask QueenofDiamonds A Question ]
