Really?!? Are you nine years old?

There are time when people really get carried away with “I want what I want!” They have a sense of entitlement that the rest of the world should ask how high, when they bark “Jump!”

Not all restaurants carry every item under the sun. I was working at a restaurant that did not have 1000 Island dressing. One older man ordered it, I explained that we didn’t have it, but we had many other dressings to choose from. “I want 1000 Island dressing!!!” Everyone else at the table took a turn explaining that we did not have it. What did he say? “I want 1000 Island dressing!!!” What are you, 9 years old?!?

You could tell by the body language and the looks on the faces of his fellow diners, that this was nothing new. This guy was bound and determined to ruin everyone’s dining experience. I ran to a restaurant that was about 30 yards away, and got some 1000 Island dressing. Was this guy appreciative? NO! The others at the table tried explaining that I ran to another restaurant to get this….it was lost on him. Someone needs to tell him he is not king of the world.

Then there was the fuss budget who wanted everything on separate plates. She ordered an entrée salad, and wanted the lettuce on one plate, and then everything else in separate little dishes. The black olives in one dish, the red onions in another, the cheese in another, the chicken on the side….and so on and so forth….oh, and the lettuce had to be cut a certain way. Annnnnd…bring me three dressings on the side, I’m not sure which one I want. Okay, whoever raised you should be slapped!

Oftentimes you’ll overhear them say to someone else at their table, “I don’t see what’s so hard about that.” Meanwhile everyone else at their table can be seen rolling their eyes in the back of their head.

But I agree, you don’t see what’s so hard about it, because you can’t see anything past the end of your nose.
