Sorry, but after last night I am still very upset! So after Cadance was born my husband and I haven't really had a date night, so we planned for last night and got there around 8. So we go in, hostess sits us as our booth and then a few minutes later the waitress from hell comes up and looks at me and our infant daughter, then looks at my husband and says "Oh, taking your mother out for dinner? How nice!" at which point my husband corrects her and says "Oh, that's my wife and daughter".
Now I certainly understand how that distinction could be made, it wasn't this that she did that bothered me, it was right after my husband clarified her demeanor totally changed. She started acting cold towards me but was nice to my husband, even sat down right next to him while taking our order! Now this girl is I'd say about my older daughters age; so mid 20s. Not only that but she would come, ask my husband if he needed a refill but not me.
But the WORST part, while we were waiting for our food Cadance started crying and I knew she was hungry and I breast feed but do so discreetly, and the restaurant we were at was fairly empty, probably less than half of its tables/booths were full. Anyway, I am just sitting there talking to my husband and breast feeding my daughter when the waitress walks up, looks at me and says "Excuse me, but could you do that elsewhere, there's a baby station in the bathroom".
I looked at her and gave her the riot act. I didn't yell or scream but I let her know she has no right to ask me to do something like that and she was very rude. My husband pretty much just sat there and listened. It just really upset me, I have a daughter this girls age and she's trying to tell me where to breast feed? On top of her acting lousy towards me when I need a refill or have a question.
I actually told my husband not to even bother leaving a tip, something I very rarely do but he ended up giving her a $10 anyway, saying she still served us and deserves a tip. I disagreed but it is what it is.
Before we left I did talk to the manager about her behavior, he apologized and gave some coupons.
Sorry if this is too long, just wanted so much to have a nice dinner date and the ***** waitress girl just HAD to ruin it!
