Every server has had one, we all know her, the one bitchy lady who needs something at the most inconvenient times. This lady will ask for a refill when her drink is way more than half full, ask for more bread when her basket is still full, tell you how to do your job and worst of all insist her friends ask for the same things. I like to call these people instigators, everything is going well at a table then suddenly the instigator will find something substandard and complain. The best thing to do in these moments is to rush away from the table in your haste to fulfill her demand before she has the chance to add more tasks. Many of these tasks include, “I need some more ranch” (turns to her friend) “you like ranch, want some too?’” This person seems to have mind control over the table, they decide who needs refills, when they need their food boxed up, how many extra condiments and modifications can be added to an order and worst of all who wants coffee or hot tea. Once you have an instigator at your table, you have two choices, be prepared to run around doing her bidding or avoid the table as much as possible and hope for the best for your tip. I prefer the latter, did you really think you were getting a good tip anyway?

I’ve reached the point where I just don’t acknowledge people trying to speak for others ( are you sure that’s what you want? but you like yadda yadda), I just keep talking over them and asking the person who is actually ordering, to please repeat themselves bc I couldn’t hear them the first time, lol.
