Despicable Diners
Unfortunately, my mother was a waiter stomper. She was rude, condescending and embarrassing. It was horrible to eat lunch out. Everything was either sent back or complained about. My grandmother told me of the first time she met my mom; they went out to eat and my mom was so cruel to the waiter that my grandmother lost her appetite. Of course, my mom was also verbally abusive to us kids at home too, so this wasn't out of character. I distinctly remember looking into the eyes of one server and wished I could have crawled under the nearest rock. Some people are just miserable no matter what.— December 6, 2011 5:20 p.m.
