During a crazy rush I am sat with a party of 4. The father was a tall old chubby guy with a beard, who for some reason thought it was ok to be wearing a skater hat and shirt like he was fucking 18. His son, who was 18, was tall and skinny and was one of those skater types that think they are too cool to even talk. He was wearing a skater hat with the hood of his jacket over it. Hi, your in a restaurant. The father orders a cherry coke (which means I have to pour grenadine in each of his many glasses). How old are you sir? Are you a 6 year old boy? Oh, your a grown ass man who orders like a 6 year old boy? Ok. The stupid son is drinking root beer like it is going out of style. I was so busy with all these other tables and every second I looked over his glass was empty. After his 5th refill I decide that he was finished. Normally, if the table was cool, I would bring two sodas at a time for one of these “camels” (smart people actually ask for two drinks, what a crazy concept), but since they were douchebags, I cut him off. Yeah, it was a dick move, but hopefully he learned that if you are at a busy restaurant and you pound your drink, you are gonna be thirsty for a while! Servers have more than one table asshole!

Yes gulping those sodas down is a bit much. You wonder about all that gas in that stomach too!
I don’t understand why drinking a drink at a restaurant is a problem. As long as he didn’t act stupid about having to wait some for the extra drinks.
cmoney, it’s because an empty glass is a sure ticket to reduced tip. people get annoyed when their glass is empty, and then they tip accordingly. i hate soda drinkers!!! not really, just when i am serving them, haha.
I’m wondering why it was such a bad thing that the father was ordering cherry coke? Is it really such a hardship to pour the grenadine into the glass to make the drink? The extra twenty second really going to throw your day that far out of whack?
I like going to Denny’s and getting the vanilla syrup in my diet coke, does that make me a 6 year old too? If the drinks were meant to be restricted by age, they’d be on the kids menu only, or the seniors menu or something.
This author seems to like to gripe about customers expecting him to do his job. He also doesn’t seem to know the difference between “your” (posessive) and “you’re” (“you are”).
There are legitimate hardships faced by servers dealing with nasty diners. This account doesn’t read like one of them.
