I have a full tray of drinks and I walk up to my table to set them down. I grab a coke, and begin to set it down in front of this stupid lady. As my hand is halfway to the table, obviously holding her coke, she says to me in a bitchy voice, “Ugh, where is the straw.” No fucking shit. How about you let me put down the fucking drinks first? As you can see, one of my hands has YOUR COKE in it, and the other has a tray with 7 drinks on it. Believe it or not I have heard of straws. If you would care to glance down at my apron you will see a pocket literally overflowing with these crazy tubes. Patience is a virtue, so is shutting the fuck up.

You probably touched the rim of her glass. That is a no no if you want to be considered a good server.
jesus christ, the server tells a simple story and you just jump to a dumb conclusion and basically call her a bad server all from a paragraph that is telling a story that almost every server has encountered in some way. Hell, I find anon more annoying than the straw-less lady.
Anyway, that is one of my top 3 pet peeves, hands down. I’m standing there handing out drinks and they’re asking for straws before I even get a chance to touch them.
