Oh, would I love to share what “Springs1″ posted in the comments but oops, I have her IP marked as spam. Silly me. Know why? She is one of those customers who seems to think servers are actually slaves. I would release the doozy of a comment she posted, but it’s more of the same shit that she always posts. “Blah blah, I’m important because I pay to come out to eat and therefore you should lick my boots if you want the whole 10% I tip. Also, I will look for reasons to decrease your tip to 0%, including things that are out of the server’s control. You’re a shitty server, obviously, because you have a blog that contains the bitching you don’t share while at work. You’re also probably stupid since you’re a waitress to begin with.” She also said – and I quote – “I would not want you as my server.” Well, I wouldn’t want you as my customer so I guess we’re even.
Newsflash, bitch: Obviously I am not a shitty server, otherwise I would have been fired years ago. Obviously I am not a shitty server because at least once a shift, a table asks to see a manager just to tell them how *perfect* my service was. Obviously you are an idiot, because you can’t seem to understand that what someone writes on her blog does not mean that’s how she acts while at work. Obviously you are too stupid to understand that saying or doing any of the things I write here would get me fired, and seeing as I still have a job I’m obviously not treating my guests the way I would sometimes like to.
I’m terribly sorry that you possess barely more than a brainstem, so I’ll spell this out for you nice and slow: In less than a month, I will be more qualified for a job than you will ever be. I perform better at my job than you could ever hope to do yourself, and I probably make more money than you while doing so. I have a fantastic husband, an adorable puppy, and couldn’t be happier with my personal life. Sounds like you’re jealous. You can keep submitting your whiny-ass comments, but I am not going to release them from the spam filter. You are, quite simply, a bad customer. No one likes you. I don’t like you. My readers don’t like you. Go somewhere else to troll. And no, I don’t mean my personal blog; you’re marked as spam there, too.
Regular readers: if you would like to see my response to Springs1′s list on “how to be a good server,” please visit this page and enjoy.
Edit: Springs1 tried to comment on the page mentioned above, in what I can only imagine was supposed to be a rebuttal. Obviously it was pages long and full of caps and asterisks, so I didn’t bother to read it. Just wanted to let you guys know that, despite knowing I’m going to immediately delete her comments, she still tried. Awwww, it’s cute when people don’t listen.
Edit #2: Her comment count is now up to three. I’m betting Springs1 spent ages crafting the perfect responses; too bad they’re sent off to a cyber death without being read. Did I just troll the troll? Methinks I did. How many more will be submitted? I’m going to keep a tally. Do you think she even notices these edits?
Edit #3: Five comments. Shorter than the last ones, but I still can’t help but feel she doesn’t understand that no one will get to read her oh-so-scathing responses. Teehee.
Edit #4: Six. Ho hum.
** Applause **
This seriously made me LOL.
I have been a lurker for quite some time and I have to confess, I am also a restaurant owner that would love to have more servers like you!
You know, as well as I do, that customers like this fucktard exist everywhere and should be shot. Professional at work doesn’t mean that we don’t have opinions about the assholes we serve. Sometimes we get some amazing customers that I love and sometimes I want to stab people in the face with ice picks… several times.
The benefit of me being a restaurant owner means that I get to tell people to GTFO when I need to. I know my servers wish they could do the same, but I will tell you a little story that I hope brightens your day:
A table came in the other day and I put one of my best servers on since it was a larger party (but not large enough to include gratuity on the check). Long story short, the guy wanted to use multiple discount coupons even though they stated that they could not be combined. He pitched a fit and blamed the server, telling her that she is not getting a tip (which should have been over $120 if they tipped 20% since they ordered a metric fuckton of food). Of course, I went over and explained the problem and apologized, but he then told me that he was stiffing the server and this was all my fault.
He was being a total douche to her, so I told him that since he was incompetent and wanted to blame everyone else and stiff his server because of it, he should leave and I would happily cover her tip. He paid the check and GTFO.
Fuck assholes like that. Customer is always right… unless they are seriously that retarded, in which case I don’t need their business.
Also, fuck commenters that think they are some sort of entitled princess.Bare minimum for tip should be 10% if you have mediocre service (and yes, if your service is absolutely horrible and it is the servers fault, totally talk to a manager or tell the server to fuck off and talk to a manager. Average tip should be 15 to 20%… deal with it or don’t go the fuck out to eat.
You, sir, are fucking awesome. Please un-lurk and comment more often. I wish every manager I’ve ever had, have, or will have was like you. I want managers that will back me up when I need it most and kick my ass when I fuck up. THAT is how it should be. Thanks for being simply marvelous.
I am a chick, but I’ll take the ‘Sir’ with it… especially since I consider myself to have bigger balls than most people.
Side note, I actually googled the crazy chick and holy fuckballs. I am glad I have no blog.
Whoops! My apologies. In my defense, I did scour your comment trying to figure out your gender before winging it.
I kind of find her comments amusing (on rare occasions that I read them) so don’t be glad you don’t have a blog…just be glad you can enjoy the drama on someone else’s blog.
awwwwww, I used to have a manager like this
Too bad he got kicked out over some BS and works at Chili’s now…
but anyway, one day a group of teachers came in (and they are the WORST) at the end of the meal they wanted 10 separate checks, coupons on each, and when it was taking the server “too long” (like 5 minutes) to process their 10 separate checks and coupons (which you need a manger for anyway) they called my awesome manager over to complain. He told them (and I quote) “There’s the door.”
I miss him…..
God, teachers are fucking horrible. Even a few of the professors from both colleges in my town have been less than cordial as customers. In general, though, the profs are better customers than teachers. Sounds like an awesome manager.
When I go out to eat it’s to throw some money around. It isn’t to be a cheap assed bitch. If I want to be a cheap ass, I do fast food or cook at home. The whole dining out experience is to overindulge, treat myself and spend money foolishly. Believe it or not, servers can tell from the moment a customer opens his/her mouth whether or not someone is going to be a douchebag. Then one of several things happen: the server rolls over like a dog and takes the bullshit abuse, the server gives the bare minimum of service and avoids the table or the server fights back and everyone loses.
Here’s a tip: if you’re going out to eat, don’t be a cheap ass. Pay for your service, shut your damned mouth and get over yourself.
Amen, sister.
I hardly ever comment but I had to for this. I seriously can’t stand that person! I have read her blog posts and I was seriously agog that a person like that even existed. Her entitled attitude irritated me beyond belief, the fact that if you responded to her posts disagreeing with her and showed even an ounce of intelligence made me roll my eyes since she talked all that shit without backing it up. Look at her post about people driving- it hurts her feelings when people let people into traffic. Seriously, it hurts her feelings! If you don’t fill the water cup every five seconds she won’t tip, she won’t tip delivery drivers, okay I could go on and on but I won’t. I was left wanting to slap her face off her face after reading that blog.
Honestly when I go out to eat I go knowing full well that I could make everything at home just as easily and probably cheaper. I’m paying so I don’t have to cook, serve, clean up, and to have fun. I will never understand people who don’t tip. Even when I get bad service I still tip. I mean seriously after dropping $25-30 is saving $7-8 really worth fucking someone over? Unless something truly terrible happens I think relaxing and understanding people make mistakes/have off nights is a lot better then carrying around all that anger and irritation so much so that you feel the need to blog about it./ rant over
Wow, what a trip. I can’t believe some of the shit she writes. She says a computer charging more than the price of an item on the menu is my fault. Is it, now? Prices change so often that by the time I have one memorized, they’ve changed it. If it’s wrong in the system, she wants me to check her bill to the menu price before bringing the bill? Oh, but I better not take too long to get the bill. Oh, and she knows I’m busy but it’s really not too much to ask. Oh, and of course I should notice and have the manager fix it. Guess what? The manager can’t change the price in the computer either. The only thing he can do is comp the meal; there’s no way to take, for example, 50 cents off. I’m thinking Springs1 can shut the fuck up and either pay the difference (it’s 50 goddamn cents compared to a $30 meal) or she can stop eating out. I’d prefer the latter.
Thanks for commenting, I agree with what you wrote. I don’t understand why people go out and insist on being miserable instead of enjoying the fact that they don’t have to cook or clean that night.
Correction: if you responded to her post and disagreed with her she would delete your comment. This is what happens when you get worked up. And it’s been like 6 months since I read her blog.
I know, I’ve tried to comment before and my comment mysteriously disappeared. I typically will not delete comments or block an IP address, but I’ve had quite enough of her. All her comments did were incite wars in the comments, with my readers backing me up and her responding in many many separate comments. What an ugly mess. I saw that my readers agreed with me and Springs1 wasn’t worth the effort or tangle of arguing comments, so I blocked her. That’s quite different from deleting opposing opinions as she does, though I doubt she can tell the difference. It’s probably infuriating to her that she can’t defend herself on my blog, but she earned that punishment by responding with ALL CAPS and nonsensical comments, with absolutely no reasoning to back up her opinions. So sad, boohoo.
She is an internet joke and well known for being the same repetitive broken record she is. By feeding her troll behavior you just make her feel even better about herself. She has been doing this for years.
If you ignore her – she goes away. Ask bitterwaitress or any number of server blogs. She is the laughing stock of the community.
Sorry you fell for it, but really it is nothing to get worked up about.
I think you misunderstand. I know she’s a troll. I even said so in my post. What brings me great pleasure is trolling her back. Think about it: I spent MAYBE an hour writing this post and the “sister” page addressing her list. An hour that would have been spent doing nothing anyway, but which was instead spent setting the stage for hilarity. Now think about the two comments she’s submitted since I posted. Judging by the length, CAPS, and asterisks, she probably spent three hours writing each response, neither of which will ever be seen by my readers. Imagining her fury at being silenced and the time she wasted writing those comments is truly satisfying to me. I don’t post about her to gain affirmation from my readers; I know I’m in the right and that Springs1 is in the wrong. I just get some sadistic pleasure from trolling a troll. I never said I was a nice person. Maybe I did, I don’t know, but if I did I lied.
How have I never heard of this person?
Well, I only see you now and then so reason says you may miss things here and there when you’re not around now and again.
If trolling trolls is your cup of tea then youtube awaits
Twat – *racist comment*
Me- *Logical comment backed up with facts that defeats his*
Twat – Shut up your shit!
Me – I’m sorry but my shit doesn’t have an opening I can close
Twat – Oh ha ha very funny ya stupid ****
Me- Well I outsmarted you so if I’m stupid what does that make you?
Twat – your not smarter than me, your just being ****ing immature with word games
Me – Well the fact that I could twist your own insults against you is considered outsmarting you and while we’re talking about maturity I’m not the one who resorted to using bad language and insults.
Ps you’ve been trolled an pwned; have a nice day!
Trolling youtube comments is not quite as fun since I’m more personally invested in serving and my own blog. Still, trolling can be quite fun.
While I on the other hand am the king of procrastination XD
Too bad you can’t shut out bad customers as easily.
Happy New Year! (glad the puppy is doing well)
The puppy does well, indeed. Except for the incident in which he ingested a quarter of a cardboard box in one sitting. *sigh*
Thanks and Happy New Year to you too!
Trolls ain’t just in Fairy Tales. . .
I get the feeling that blocking all comments is the most frustrating thing you could ever do to her. Kudos!
So far she’s commented three times since I posted, and they’ve all been deleted without being read. Perhaps, one day, she can post without CAPS and asterisks, and make a reasonable argument. If that day comes, I would be happy to entertain her opinion. Until then…TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON!
Hey, I’ve got a restaurant blog that nobody looks at and if you don’t like this person, send them over to me before I die of loneliness! (send them to my page, not my actual real-life station)
I actually think having her in my real-life station would be most entertaining. I could PURPOSELY irritate her by doing things normal people like, and when she complains to the manager other guests would say, “She didn’t do anything for that lady that she didn’t do for any of us, and we feel very well cared for.” Can you imagine? She’s be apoplectic with rage that the other guests and manager think I’m right and she’s wrong. Teehee! If you want her to visit your blog, just go submit a dissenting comment on hers.
I actually do read your bloc if it makes you feel better!
Really? Thanks, I’ll try and make the rest of the posts this year not as lame as this last one, and it DOES make me feel better!
Yea, I’ll look at it. What is it?
Is it wrong that I am dying to know what she wrote? Because I am.
More of the same. I glanced at the CAPS words (all of which seemed to be “ME” “YOU” and “YOUR”, peppered with the occasional “ASSHOLE”) and decided it wasn’t anything new. It’s deleted, gone forever, so you’ll have to use your imagination.
Springs1 seems to get upset over alot of things like, for example, if the server brings her water without her asking. If that upsets her then she is obviously just looking for things to moan about and will never be satisfied.. ever. Either that or she really is just a troll.
Some people really can’t be pleased, often due to a mistaken sense of entitlement. It can result from a need to gain control over some part of one’s life because they feel like the rest of their life is out of control. It’s easier to nitpick and control someone that can’t defend themselves instead of address the underlying problem.
Very true, and also some people mistake “service” for “servitude” and thus act like total dicks to service people. I would reckon she is one of them.
Service workers are seen as a lower class. Funny thing is, most of them are college students who will ultimately (or perhaps already are) more intelligent than the people they serve.
she probably has a sad sad life with her made up pretend husband that supposedly dines out with her, but more likely, 50 cats…since i can not imagine another human being wanting to be with a person like her. i read all of her blog. i laughed so hard i got tears. My husband, not a server was laughing too. We sent it over to my FIL, who actually is sort of picky about service but a great guy and good tipper ( and he is where i learned auto refills are important….not ASKING to refill…back when i was a younger girl in the biz) he was laughing. I also just sent her link out to a dozen friends some servers, some not, and all have said the same thing. She is nutso. she should not be allowed to dine out.
I read that thing’s; yes THING because I cannot find a trace of humanity in her!
Let me start over; I read her blog posts and a little piece of me died. To think people like her exist makes me lose hope for humanity. I’ve met some doozies in my time but she takes the cake; she’s so self centered, arrogant and void of empathy that she’s one step away from being a sociopath. Did you read her post that it’s the server’s fault if the menu price doesn’t match the price on the computer? The extreme lengths she goes to and the logical fallacies uses to justify her actions and opinions would make a schizophrenic proud.
Also, she suggests the server could pay out of his own pocket to account for the difference. By that logic, it would be more reasonable to expect her to just pay the difference. If 50 cents is going to make or break your budget and/or eating experience, perhaps you should be cooking at home.
As my friend Mel would say “Not enough dick, that what her problem is”
I think she’s got plenty of dick. Can’t have more dick than if you are one, right?
omg the reasoning she MAKES UP to try to make a point…the woman is batshit crazy. seriously.
OMG. I had to go & visit her blog & can we say “Batshit crazy & self entitled to the max.”? Who seriously wates so much time on this stuff? I bet she takes home the straw wrappers and weaves plant hangers out of them. Can you imagine if she visits the restroom & someone clears her discarded straw and burger wrappers? Lordy.
Generally people like me to remove items that they’re done with, but if they want to sit in filth they certainly may. It’s sad to imagine how miserable she willingly makes herself over something so inconsequential as eating out.
This chick brought me out of lurking. My theory is that she is angry and bitter because she is constipated from the metric ass ton of ranch and mayo that she eats on a seemingly regular basis. I’m pretty sure I gained weight reading her list of how to present condiments. I’m also pretty sure Denny’s doesn’t count anywhere near fine dining or moderately classy dining…usually when i go do Denny’s I’m hungover and looking for my staple-a cup of coffee and a Snicker’s bar wrapped in a Rice Krispie treat that has been fried (I smuggle that in from the hot dog vendor next door.).
Never thought of it that way better not in case I start feeling a little bit of penis envy from how dig of a dick she is!
Also, 100% behind you on that point about staying at home. If you ask me dining out is a luxury and like any luxury either you can afford it or you can’t; but then again that kind of logic wont permeate the thick skull of a pathological tight-arse. Lets just hope one day she chases a rolling penny out in front of a bus.
i love spirngs1…i remember reading her a few years ago and being awestruck by her special kind of crazy…
i know! i keep checking it to see who comments and her responses. her “special kind of crazy” is a great source of amusement
Maybe she’d relax a bit if we all chipped in and bought her a crate full of ranch dressing.
no, because then we would be ASSUMING she WANTED ranch. We should not ORDER for the CUSTOMER. It is not our place to ORDER for her.
we should all just learn to read her mind. heaven forbod we ASK the guest if the WANT something, or give it AUTOMATICALLY.
lol.
oh Springs1…. how i love to hate her.
she BLEW UP my blog on my very first wait[ress] rant with her trolling… and i couldn’t have been more pleased. She helped prove every point i was trying to get across simply by opening her ranch coated pie hole.
Pretty much. It’s like how extreme religious sects make people realize they’re crazy more than they make any headway in spreading their ideals.
My curiosity got the best of me… I just went and read her post on “How to be a good server.” Or rather, I read about half of it; I just couldn’t keep going.
I should have left well-enough alone, but I couldn’t help myself: I left a comment on her blog. As I’m sure she’ll never publish it, and I thought it was a tiny bit clever, I’ll paste it here.

I loved that rebuttal post, but I can’t find it anymore! With your new blog layout, I don’t know where it went. And I can’t remember the link to your personal blog – can you post that somewhere too?
I removed it. I’m planning on adding more things…I just need the time and motivation to do it! The link to my personal blog is the first post on the home page (it’s stickied) but I will post it here for your convenience: http://www.fmtlife.wordpress.com
Oh, and hopefully THAT will be changing soon too!
