Ok Spring Break is about to wrap up, maybe one or two more weekends to go, but now its mostly families heading south. Turtlebacks, as I call them. I try to go buy diesel on saturdays at the store, and here are all these minivans with a plastic shell on top loaded down with way to many bags and junk. Haven't you heard the old saying "less is MORE"
But anyway, there is always one thing that I see over Spring Break that really chaps my ass, above and beyond the normal shit that you vacationers do as you travel through my area on the way to the beach. Well, I have been waiting to post this in hopes something else will top this outrageous behaviour, but I don't think it will be topped this year so here goes.
My 2003 Spring Break Rant award goes to the yuppie mother from Atlanta, that will remain nameless. What did she do you ask?
First off, to any readers out there in the hostess and waitress business, please forgive me for this post. It will be very disturbing to you.
I was sitting in a restaraunt witht he family over Spring Break and enjoy watching all the people around me. One table caught my eye. Young family, LAte 30's. Older daughter around 13 and a new baby, around 2 - 1 1/2 yrs old. The Mom is taking care of the new baby. Fixing him his food up ready to serve the baby. Any Moms out there know, that Mom doesn't get to eat until the baby is served first. Well mom bites into her chicken and starts semi-chewing the meat. She then removes it from her mouth and sets the meat in front of the baby. JUST like a freaking bird! She starts to chew and then hands it off to the offspring. She then gets up some French fries and tears them up and sets them in front of the baby. She then crushes up some crackers and sets them in front of the baby. She picks some other food off her plate and the other family member's plates, tears it up and sets it in front of the baby.
She is not finished yet. She squirts a ton of catsup and ranch dressing down for the baby and then she is finished. She starts on her meal and keeps checking back on the baby.
Now what is so wrong with this pic Poppa. Sounds normal to me. Well, my friends here is the shitty part. She didn't set any of this food on a plate. She didn't set any of this food on a napkin, she didn't set any of this food on a cardboard box or anything else. This lady fixed her baby's entire meal directly onto the table top in the restaraunt. That's right, straight on the table that the busboy had wiped up with a semi-cleaned rag 10 minutes before hand. And what a freaking mess this kid made. Food and shit everywhere, catsup smeared over half the table. Cracker crumbs mixed in with ranch dressing, all over the table and floor. Pieces of food mixed up everywhere. It was a horrible mess.
After they left the busboy came out and just about shit when he saw half a bottle of catsup poured straight on the table. He cleaned and cleaned and the hostess came over and had to help him bus everything up so she could hurry up and free the table. It was really shitty what that Mom did to the staff of the restaurant, not to mention running the risk of sickening her child with food poison settting his food directly on a public-use table.
But wait till you hear the rest of the story..........
The dad left a 3 dollar tip when he walked out!
And now you know the resssst of the story. Good Day!
