This sounds nothing so much as the pitch for a dark and surreal tv show. And I would totally watch it.

I would’ve done something subtle yet very, very evil to those 15 obese jerks… the rule #1 of the club: do not mess with those who handle your food

where was this diner? Butthead, Wi? lol I too worked as a waitress and i know it is one of the worst, if not the worst jobs ever. i went thru what you had , except we weren’t allowed to accept tips. covered in sauces, i quit. the manager was a real sweaty pig who sweated all over the food. it iwas disgusting. that’s why i hardly go out to eat, i know what goes on back there.

Why didn’t you add gratuity to a group of 15? Even if it wasn’t the norm at your restaurant…who was to notice? You were alone.

I’m sure this all sounds unlikely, but this was in a 24-hour cheap bar/restaurant in New Orleans in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. There were very few people in town and those that didn’t start out crazy had become crazy after the storm. There was no police presence to speak of and unless it was a murder or a lucrative drug bust, reporting crime was a waste of breath.

I’ve worked at 3 Applebee’s in the past 2 years. I feel ya (minus the getting fired part). Restaurants breed such a special brand of crazy.

A place that serves catfish & onion rings, has prostitutes soliciting customers all day, you can watch disgruntled couples breaking up; this sounds like a GREAT job. The only bad part must be heaving to wear an apron.

I wonder why would the employees let a prostitute troll for customers for 4 hours inside the premises.
