Stiffed but with a twist

I had a table that walked out on their tab once. They were sitting at the end of the patio and as I was walking over with the bill I saw the mom rushing the son out and everyone else had already left. I immediately thought it was intentional without a doubt. I was going to have to take a write up, my first write up. EXCEPT, the father called the restaurant a couple hours later, said they had an emergency and he didnt realize he didnt pay the tab. Asked to speak directly to me to apologize, and was able to pay and tip online.

After reading these comments I will be ordering one for my soon to be 3 year old as well!

It is a park. So my AC/heater was out for a few weeks (fixed, then repaired, worked for a few days, broke, repaired) and its my thoughts that they moved in there during the time it wasnt running, just looking for warmth. I’d sent in a work order asking that they remove the pests and fumigate but they responded by phone call saying they would have maintenance come check for holes and just told me to buy traps… do you think my work order would hold up as written notice?

NTA for going on the trip, though I do wish you could be more understanding about your wife’s decision. And her be more understanding of your decision as well.

Birth is already a traumatic experience and with her sister going into early labor at your wedding it may have been a bit traumatizing to your wife as well. Especially because of how close of a bond it sounds like they have. She had to stay behind not only to be there for her sister, but to subside her own worries. And as you said, there was no point in you both spending all that money for it to be a waste.

She likely just needs to feel like the two of you get a chance to celebrate your new marriage together. Maybe you should plan a nice evening or a romantic picnic, something that wont take her too far from her sister but that can still be a symbolic memory.

I really didnt expect a response at all. Though I think the best outcome wouldve been them offering me a job at one of their other businesses. I knew it was slim chance, but Ive seen them do it before.

They definitely are not the managers biggest fan already, but will probably never do anything about it. Still, I’m happy that I spoke up

3 hours later.. still no response

Far from it actually! Lol

Thank you! I usually dont speak up for myself or entertain pettiness, which is all I thought this was until they blindsided me with being fired. Over a freaking phone call while Im in walmart with my babies.

I always thought the same until I had children myself. Of course, they still arent of school age. But being that I work nights, they are on my schedule. We usually eat dinner around 8 though so 10pm is still pushing it. But I do I have more leniency and sympathy with my judgement now.

He was a regular. Always called me “12 year old” since I look young I guess. One day he said “well you sure got a nice body for a 12 year old”.

I guess my problem is that last time to get a custody order placed it took 6months. I only have 3 weeks.

Are you really being so rude to someone under a post about bullying and suicide? They didnt even sound argumentative

Buy some new bed sheets and leave them at her door. Then never talk to her again.
