10 Things Customers Do That Waitresses Hate

6. "Isn't Your Toddler Adorable?" Said No Waitress Ever

BabyeatingBabyworld.co.ukBy all means we welcome children. We will even provide you with a high chair. However, it is not our responsibility to look after your child, feed your child, or even acknowledge your child. Customers who bring their 3 year old to a restaurant should be handed a manual upon entering. 'Your child must remain seated at all times', 'You must clear up the mess your child has made' and 'If your child is screaming and/or crying, please remove them from the premises.' Vital information. Perhaps a little harsh to those with children, but from a waitresses point of view - children just means extra cleaning. The lingering smell of baby wipes and an additional high chair to clean and put away before the next table is seated is an inconvenience.
