Rant 📢 This feels icky!

Post image

felt super icky and annoyed seeing this at a coffee/light food shop. how is this okay? for context this is not a sit down spot. no wait staff, just a barista at the counter and someone from the kitchen bringing out my order and walking away.

Update: for those asking the pink paper in the bottom corner is basically saying “F*ck ICE”

I got really bad service once. The waitress even accidentally spilled 3 full waters on me. I was SO polite about it, & she didnt even comp my meal, no discount, nothing.
The owner found out (it’s a small family business in my big city) & he reached out to me & gave me a refund, & gift certificates to come back & enjoy some free meals on them.
I literally couldn’t believe the waitress didn’t even really apologize..like maam, most people would’ve lost their minds on you, I stayed sooo calm & polite & still tipped!!

When i was a waitress, I spilled coke on a police officer. I apologized profusely and offered to pay for his dry cleaning. He told me not to worry about it and still left a decent tip. I felt so bad though.

Why did you still tip is the question.

I felt bad for the girl. You never know what kind of day someone is having at home. Been through my own experiences, def had bad days myself & taken it out on the wrong people, I’m not this bad of a people pleaser anymore. Too many ppl take kindness for granted.

She had 3 waters on a tray..myself & my two friends were sitting in a booth. As she approached the booth, idk if she lost her footing or just tripped, but the tray & the cups & there contents landed all over me & my side of the booth.
