This is NOT the Cheesecake Factory

I've been waitressing for quite a few years now and even though the money is outstanding: the job itself makes me want to throw glass objects at walls.

I've dealt with the craziest of crazies during my time as a server. While the policy that the "customer is always right" should always be applied, I think I'm officially burnt out because it literally does not apply anymore. I have no more tolerance for erractic customer behavior anymore.

At work the other night, I walked over to my first table and noticed a sweet and lovely couple in their 60's waiting patiently for my arrival. Before I could even pronounce the J in my first name I was cut off by the woman sitting as she barked, "How is your coffee here? Because everytime I go to the Cheesecake Factory it's terrible."

Seeing as though I don't work at the Cheesecake Factory and I haven't even been awknowledged as a human being yet - you can imagine how the rest of the night went with this couple.

If there was a complaint or comment box, this couple would have filled it. But let bring you to the best part of the story, 4 cups of coffee later, I bring the bill over to the table when the grumpiest woman on earth decides to tell me that, "the coffee wasn't even drinkable, just to let you know." Not even awknowledging her coffee comment, since she downed 4 cups, I told them they could pay whenever they were ready. This is when Sir Grumps-A-Lot proceeded to say, "Well since you are not taking the coffee off of the bill, it's my birthday so can you give me my free dessert now."

With steam pouring out of my ears I tell her we do not give away free desserts for birthdays but she can buy one and I'll even stick a candle in it for her!

In absolute disgust, she shakes her head at her husband and turns back to me and says, "Well, the Cheesecake Factory always gives me a free dessert on my birthday."

Graduation day can't come soon enough. Goodbye waitressing for-ev-er.
