Apparently glasses were thrown across the room and they both got kicked out.
1.Couple came into the restaurant dressed very goth.
I wasnt their server but I was running the cash register just a few feet away.
Pablo Merchán Montes
They said they didnt need our food for sustenance, but enjoyed the taste.
The waitress was indeed tipped well for her delicious energy.
2.First date, I would estimate college age.
3.A girl hit on me in front of her boyfriend when I was serving.
The boyfriend walked off after staring her off and the girl awkwardly sat there alone for a while.
I asked a girl friend to take over her table, because it was too awkward.
Its usually sweet and makes everybody in the room all fuzzy and warm.
Were pretty easy going at this job, so we agree to let him do it.
Apparently this guy was a little nervous, and he compensated by having a few drinks.
The only thing our stage manager can think of to say on mic is Well, thats that.
The guy ended up staying for the rest of the show and had many more drinks.
That was years ago and it still remains one of the cringiest things Ive ever seen.
This woman walks in, walks up to the guy and Im thinking wow!
She looks at him and says, Are you Joe?
What a foul creature.
Joe(not his real name) and I proceeded to get way too drunk for a Tuesday.
6.Husband and wife fight.
Husband got up and threw a pizza slice at her face.
7.Date seemed going well, but the guy was nervous and fidgety.
Toppled his chair backwards and knocked himself out cold.
And peed his pants.
We gave them to her on the house.
8.I guess you could call this a couple date.
I was working at a wine bar when a married couple sat down on a pretty slow night.
I went over the specials and they ordered.
Once appetizers came out the man thought it would be a good idea to serve his wife divorce papers.
I did my best to avoid that side of the bar.
I did bring out tissues for the wife who was breaking down.
I ended up boxing up the dinner.
The guy paid but I do not envy that ride home.
9.Served a deaf couple having a fight.
She whips out a pen and starts writing paragraph after paragraph angrily.
When they finally left they tipped me pretty well though so I guess it wasnt too bad?
10.Had a couple come in one night and everything seemed to be going fine.
We just hired a new sever who was training and I asked her if she had any questions.
She didnt get fired for what she said.
11.One of my first jobs in New York was managing a lounge/cocktail bar in a high end hotel.
At this point, if Ive gone this far, why not?
Apparently glasses were thrown across the room and they both got kicked out.
Both tatted the fuck up with piercings to match.
She smirks at him, says, You know I do, and orders three more entrees.
This was clearly a thing for them.
They seemed incredibly happy together and became regulars at my restaurant.
I feel like I played a not insignificant role in this bizarre couples eating fetish for like three years.
14.A girl brought two tinder dates and played them off each other game show style.
They seemed to be unaware this was what would happen.
Splitting the bill was hilarious.
We had only stopped seeing each other a month earlier so it was incredibly awkward for everyone.
18.Theres a habit of some older couples where the elderly gentleman will order on behalf of his wife.
I guess it might have been cute and romantic once, but it doesnt work with some younger couples.
I was serving a younger couple (early 20s), who seemed pretty early into the relationship.
They were ordering drinks and he orders her drink for her.
But fine whatever, if I dont get a say…
He responded quite angrily with, Oh sorry, have what you want then!
She got her latte and he glared at me.
They ate and left.
Not been in since, Im sure theyre doing well.
20.I had this girl one day on lunch date (or so I thought) with this other girl.
Thought nothing of it, maybe they were together maybe they were not.
Well I had one of the girls sit in my section again…. with another girl.
Ill never forget those eyes piercing through my soul telling me to shut up.
22.When I was in school this old guy used to bring in all these different young ladies.
I thought they were his daughters until one day I noticed lots of touching.
later found out he was paying for escorts.
He spit it back into the glass and said, Delicious.
They were both in their late 20s or early 30s.
Anyhow, the guy starts to tell me about swingers parties around the area and how I should go.
Later in the evening, he asked me if I thought his wife was cute.
I didnt know what to make of it.
He brought a book with him, and refused to order anything until his date arrived.
His date arrived 15 minutes after the reservation.
Its clearly a blind date from a dating app.
She sits down, refuses to order anything.
I left them alone and for the next 15 minutes, she looks like shes interrogating the guy.
She eventually gets up and leaves.
The guy looked devasted, so we offered to buy him dinner.
He declined and left the restaurant in the saddest way possible.
27.I was a bartender, and helped get two strangers (man and woman) chatting across the bar.
They hit it off, talk a lot, clearly into each other.
They moved closer, I turned away and was helping other customers and not paying much notice.
This was at lunchtime.
It went great for them, but was awkward as fuck for everyone else in the bar.
28.After they ordered, she got up and left the table.
And she never came back.
Food arrived and he said to box it up.
29.Once had a blind date while I was working At an upscale Italian restaurant.
The lady came in early, younger and a little on the heavy side to put it nicely.
She ordered a mixed drink, and almost chugged it, she drank it so fast.
About twenty minutes goes by and Im worried she is going to be stood up.
Finally a guy comes rolling in, in a very quick manner like he knew he was late.
He is tall and fit and doesnt look like he has trouble finding dates.
Im a little worried that he wont find the nice young lady suitable.
But boy how I was wrong, and a fucking dumbass for think these things.
They hit it off, talking and laughing all night.
They pretty much terminate the place but werent being rude and staying too late after we closed.
They eventually work their way out the door.
We are all excited too.
Figured they went home and shagged it out.
Anyway about thirty minutes goes by and me and the waitstaff are leaving through the back door.
AND WHAT DO WE SEE?
It was the funniest way this night could have ended.
The husband replied, No, its just our anniversary.
It has inspired my father in law to drop that line almost anytime he goes out to eat now.
31.I waited tables at this restaurant that had a big aquarium in the center.
Like floor to ceiling huge.
A mixed age couple comes in and theyre nice but the guy is super quiet and nervous.
His date was probably 20 years younger and she seemed like she liked to party.
She ordered two shots of patron right from the start and took them both.
Another younger couple was sat next to them and staring at the aquarium.
Part of the deal there was having to talk about the aquarium and fish while people ordered.
I got both couples interested and talking then told them both I would be back.
The whole time the older guy is just smiling but I could tell he doesnt feel comfortable.
He barely touched his food and was just a fly on the wall at his own table.
Eventually they decide to take the party outside to do some dancing.
During the summer they give free salsa lessons and people have drinks and dance.
Maybe an hour later Im taking a smoke break and I spot dude sitting on a bench crying.
I walk up to him and give him a cig and take a stab at talk to him.
Apparently his wife died about two year ago and that was his first time out since.
32.There was a couple that came to lunch every day.
And everyday they went to toilet together for like 20-30 minutes.
So you’re free to guess they had sex.
It was inappropriate but we could nothing with that.
But one day she came to the restaurant with another man.
And he was her husband.
And that was a pretty awkward moment.
So she started to come to the restaurant with her husband in weekends.
But one day, as usually, she came to us with her lover.
They were arguing and as Ive understood they broke up.
She was crying an so on.
After that fight Ive never seen any of them.
33.This was just before Tinder and dating apps were a thing.
It was a blind date, guy and girl.
Guy shows up first and is excited, until he sees his date.
She had their mutual friend show him an old photo of her because she had since gained significant weight.
They order drinks and appetizers.
We didnt even get appetizers out before the guy noped out of the date.
He sat at the bar asking us to bring the appetizers to him there.
Her weight wasnt the only thing he was lied to about.
Her personality and his clashed so hard the date didnt last ten minutes.
He hung out well after she left.
Ended up being a cool guy.
34.I had a middle-aged couple who seemed perfectly nice.
The man asked me where he could go to smoke.
He followed me and told me that the woman with him was his ex-wife.
Not knowing how to respond, I said it was nice that they got along so well.
He told me she just pretended to seem nice and was actually a terrible person.
Thankfully, I could excuse myself to the kitchen.
However, serving that table was awkward after that especially since she kept touching and complimenting him.
35.Had a few breakups occur.
Those are super awkward.
The guy bringing the girl to a public place so she wont cause a scene happens quite often.
This one time a guy did this with his girlfriend at lunch.
She then starts bawling I mean WAILING and everyone around is looking in their direction at this point.
My co worker goes over to the dude and is like, do you want your check?
He sat there and ate and didnt seem too bothered by what happened.
Just a weird situation.
You never know how someone is going to react to a breakup in public.
Woman sat down and the man tried to order.
Guess he ordered the wrong thing.
37.I worked in a resort hotel, high end, I waited tables in the fine dining restaurant.
Anyway, long story short.
I bring the ring, she says Dammit, Ive told you before Im not marrying you.
He left, she ate the fucking dessert, eventually he came back and paid and they left together.
38.I had a couple get in a huge fight while I was waiting on them.
At one point, the man gets up and starts walking across the restaurant to leave.
I never saw them in the restaurant again after that night.
39.They sat down and, from the girls body language, you could tell she was into him.
The body language shift occurred over maybe 1.5 hours.
He didnt stop talking the entire time.
She did give some nods anduh huhsin response; even perked up a few times to contribute.
But his monologue never stopped.
40.There was a couple sitting at the bar together seemed like it was a first date.
and proceeds to bolt out of the back door.
We were all flummoxed.
The girl sat at the bar alone for at least another 45 minutes before she left.
41.I worked at a fondue place.
1.5-2 hour meal for two people.
Four courses, the works.
Also roses and other embellishments on the plate.
Apparently the entire meal she was explaining to him how bad he was at being in a relationship.
Too needy, too emotional, somehow also didnt spend enough time with her and wasnt connecting with her?
It was an hour long breakup speech.
She left before the check came.
42.Served a young couple at a high end Italian restaurant that came in wearing matching outfits.
I asked them what the occasion was.
They were celebrating their 3 month anniversary.
Im so glad they found each other.
43.This wasnt a romantic couple, but it was a father and his daughter.
It was so weird.
Kind of like, Yeah, tell me something I dont know.
Then poor guy pulls out a ring, gets on one knee and asks her to marry him.
Could you be any cheaper?
Then she gets up and walks out, leaving the poor guy just kneeling there.
I didnt charge him for the meal.
Edit: Just to clarify, this was a real rejection.
Apparently it took him a really long time to get over it.
She cites some vague emergency and is escorted out.
I never thought much of it.
Her dudes bald head was across from her, facing away from me.
47.I had a mid 40s man with a young and attractive mid 20s woman sitting at the bar.
They were engaging in small talk and ordering drinks, nothing out of the ordinary.
After possibly 45 mins a lady storms into the bar, and immediately goes up to them.
She grabs the man by the shoulder and says, You… Youre a cunt, and walks out.
49.Was a cocktail waitress at a bar in a high-end restaurant a couple years ago.
This couple comes in right around peak hours, guy looks annoyed, girl looks really excited.
The whole time the girl is trying to talk to this guy and hes completely ignoring her.
She retreats to the bathroom and the guy continues to make a scene.
She didnt have the money to pay so a couple of the bar regulars covered it.
Made the whole night super awkward and stressful.
Definitely one of the more memorable experiences of that place.
50.When I was a waitress at Olive Garden, one of my tables was going over their divorce paperwork.
When I greeted the table I asked how everyone was and the woman said, Terrible!
We are getting a divorce.
Like wtf do I say to that?
