Why Why WHY Do People Who Have No Experience Working In A Popular Sit-down Restaurant Feel The Need To

Why why WHY do people who have no experience working in a popular sit-down restaurant feel the need to comment on EVERY. LITTLE. THING. when it comes to a restaurant?

Like I get it if you ordered 30 minutes ago and it hasn't come out yet or if the food was crappy or the waiter/waitress was rude right? But being all

"Why is there a 15-30 minute wait? I can see tables just over there that are free. This is terrible service and I'm leaving and never coming back"

like d u d e you don't know the situation. Those tables might be reserved for the group of 20 coming in later. Or a bunch of smaller groups. Or they're short staffed and can't seat people at all the spots because the person who is supposed to wait that table is a no call no show or no one picked up the shift????? You don't know??? So just shut up???? It's not like it's in the control of the 17 year old hostess that you're ranting loudly in front of, making her tear up and embarrassing your kids and your wife who has been a waITRESS FOR 10 + YEARS.

I admit, I've never worked in a restaurant. BUT that man is my stepdad and goddammit he just needs to shut up. I may not have officially worked at a restaurant but I've helped my mom around enough to know the inner workings of what goes on like jeez man be more considerate.

He also decides to criticize my mom's decisions when it comes to work. But that's another conversation

I wish people cared about the things I care about because I just want to info dump but I can never find someone who will just let me info dump without either interrupting to say they don't care or give input when i don't want any

And if you think I can just ask for that, need I remind you that I Cannot

Someone who says "I love you" conversationally x Someone who's afraid to say it back

My favorite thing my dad taught me is that the world is mostly filled with stupid people and, while it's Sad that most of the people in power are stupid people, at least stupid people are entertaining

And the desire is never stronger than when you are away from everything you use to write and have no way to write what you want except for the pen and pad that comes in your hotel

damn, no desire is ever felt so strongly as the desire to write fic when you’re really supposed to be doing something else

Now... I'm not saying I'm prepared to overthrow the government when the time comes.... But I'm part of Gen Z, was raised on Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Hunger Games, and I detest being told what to do in an authoritative way so.....
