I stopped him, because if you are having a bad day this kind of thing can put you in to tears in the middle of a shift. <br />I think she knew she did wrong, and as Sam mentions below, it probably stuck with her afterwards.<br />If I went to a place and a server consistently had a bad attitude, I would let the management know. For one small comment I wouldn't because I don't think it's fair to jeopardize a person's job over a slip up.Rogue Winohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963991830248344293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097754231204964423.post-82143429103597221962013-03-19T22:58:01.261-07:002013-03-19T22:58:01.261-07:00Pretty much instantaneously, I think she immediate...Pretty much instantaneously, I think she immediately regretted what she'd said.Rogue Winohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963991830248344293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097754231204964423.post-76951663615122042072013-03-19T22:57:15.082-07:002013-03-19T22:57:15.082-07:00The chips and salsa that arrived were all broken u...The chips and salsa that arrived were all broken up, like they were possibly recycled from another table, dohRogue Winohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963991830248344293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097754231204964423.post-21896945794609297542013-03-19T22:56:22.317-07:002013-03-19T22:56:22.317-07:00I can always justify it, cause I've been there...I can always justify it, cause I've been there.

I'm with you, give it a few tries because lord knows I've been shitty and snippy from time to time, and often not because of the person I've found myself giving shit to. Suckie feeling and one I try like a mother f'er not to do often. Sounds like your dude was right to be miffed but things worked out in the end...what more can you ask for? I can sort of picture your snippy server feeling herself cringe and I'm sure, if she is anything like me, and the way I assume you are, that moment is still with her...
