OMG
Rude Waiter Calls Customers ‘Fat Girls’ on Restaurant Bill but It Gets Worse
Oh, this is bad. Really bad. Three women went out for a night on the town in Stockton, California, last week and just wanted to have some food and fun. At the Cameo Club Casino's restaurant, they each ordered a tri-tip with fries and a soda, but when the bill came, they were floored -- and not because of the price.
There printed at the top was "Fat Girls." According to ABC News 10, one of the women, Christine Duran, saw it and couldn't believe her eyes. When she told her friends, they thought she was joking at first, but when she showed it to them, they were understandably shocked and outraged. "I was like, 'Oh, heck no,'" Isabel Robles told the station.
So they called the server over, and that's when things went from bad to worse.
He denied having anything to do with it and said some worker named "Jeff" must have put it in the system that way to keep track of their bill. A manager didn't make things any better, and Duran told ABC News he "had like a smirk on his face, like it was funny but trying not to laugh." For their trouble he offered them a 25 percent discount.
A 25 percent discount?! Talk about adding insult to injury. He finally bumped it up to 50 percent, but the women chose their dignity instead and refused his offers. Good for them. First of all this should have NEVER happened. It was rude, childish, and so many other deplorable things, but since it did, that manager should have bent over backwards to try and make things better ... like comping their entire freaking bill for starters.
The restaurant has since issued an apology, and "Jeff" has been suspended for the time being, and that's great, but the damage has been done. These ladies are justifiably still reeling from such cruel behavior. Robles said, "It's not funny. I can just see it over and over again, and I still can't believe it. They labeled us 'fat girls.' It's just something we got to deal with."
And it does nothing to improve the already volatile relationship between customers and restaurant workers. Seriously, it feels like there's some huge passive-aggressive wave of behavior as of late when it comes to servers and customers. From diners leaving cruel tips for waitresses to a Papa John's receipt that contained a totally outrageous racist slur, these incidents seem to be happening with far too much regularity, and they need to stop. And here we wonder why so many of our children are bullies and being bullied. With so many awful examples like this from "adults," what else can we expect?
How would you react if a restaurant did something like this?

"And here we wonder why so many of our children are bullies and being bullied. With so many awful examples like this from "adults," what else can we expect?"
I've been saying that for awhile. All you need to do is take a look at the user comments on any day on pretty much any "news" or blog (such as the Stir) site and it will be easy to see why kids are the way they are these days in regards to bullying...they learn by example.
I really don't have much to say about this story, as people do not really surprises me anymore. People get called names all the time, but it's suddenly not okay when the person finds out they're being called names/accuately descriptive words? It's ok to talk about someone AS LONG as they don't hear you talking about them or find out what was said. Is that how we're supposed to behave? Pretty ridiculous.

Nobody but your doctor gets to make comments about your weight. People need to grow the f up! What happened to treat others how you want to be treated?

I certainly wouldn't weep if this restaurant loses business over this. You'd think they would be more concerned about losing money over poor customer treatment than protecting an asshole like the server.

@Kaerae- I will be mean for a moment to make a point. Would it be okay for someone to call you ugly because it's a fact? Would it be okay to call you stupid be that's what you do make stupid comments? No it wouldn't because it would be a matter of opinion. I don't care if someone weighs 2 tons it's not anyone place to tell them about especially a stranger. Regardless what people say words do hurt and cause painful scars and don't need anyone, not you or someone giving them service, to tell them otherwise. This person did it to mean plain and simple anyone who defends them probably do it themselves.
