Dating Disasters That Waiters/Waitresses Witnessed


Some people really get a kick out of airing out their dirty laundry in public. For whatever reason, someone in the relationship decides that they're going to express their unhappiness with their partner in a public realm, like a nice and otherwise calm restaurant. If anything, those calm and sleek and bougie restaurants seem to be magnets for such dramatic behavior. It's absurd. These dates ended up being true disasters.

Text - thisnameisfineiguess • 16h I was bartending at a restaurant in San Francisco. This guy came in and ordered a vodka martini. He downed it and ordered another. Halfway through his third he called his wife and asked for a divorce. After he hung up we talked about the Red Sox (I'm from Boston).

Text - J_rtx • 15h 1 Award Ok, here's a great story that I've been wanting to share. I work at a small bakery in my town. I am general kitchen staff, and not a waiter, but I was there when this all went down. It was around 2 in the afternoon, the day had been normal, but suddenly I saw the retail staff in a huddle and took my first opportunity to go see what was happening. Apparently a couple had come in on this summer day, ordered two bowls of soup and sat down. The girl that took their order w

Text - In the time it took for her to get the soup, the woman had taken off her flip flop, put her leg across the table, and the guy was going to town sucking on this lady's toes IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RESTAURANT. The waitress didn't notice until she went to place the soup on the table. She stood there in shock, and the couple was oblivious to her presence. This guy is going all in, and the lady is starting to moan by the time they realize their soup is ready. The waitress was in complete shock fo

Text - bodhisattva2424 • 21h I was bartender at a country club in college and I watched a woman curse her husband out at their table because the husband kept flirting with the waitress. She got REALLY loud and walked out. Keep in mind this was a nice restaurant at an upscale country club. The waitress felt it was all her fault but she told me the guy had been coming in there often and tipping her 100% of the bill everytime.

Text - lemongrassmacaroni • 16h I worked at a bar in a hotel for 5 years. I had a table come down from their hotel room and sit at one of my pub tables for dinner. From the moment they sat down, you could tell the wife was furious about something. She was unbelievably pleasant toward me, but did not say a single word to the man at the table. I get their drinks and then their orders- he ordered steak and she ordered the sauciest pasta dish we had on the menu. About 20 minutes later (the wife stil

Text - BubbaChanel • 18h A couple of friends and I went to the Mexican restaurant where another friend was waiting tables. There was a couple kind of catty-cornered from us that had a bit of an "off" vibe. We could see them, but not really hear them, so we asked our server friend what was up. She said it seemed to be a first or second date that was a bit awkward. The girl had ordered one of those enormous margaritas, and was not sharing it. I had to go make a phone call (back in the pay phone da

Text - One_Hot_Ruben • 14h Not waiter, but I used to be a banquet cook for large corporate events/weddings. Had your very typical bridezilla one weekend. She ended getting hammered at the reception and slept with a groomsman in the honeymoon suite. Needless to say, husband left her immediately. At least I got a lot of compliments on my crab cakes.

Text - 02K30C1 • 15h This happened to a friend of my wife... She met a guy on a dating site, they agreed to meet at a strip mall parking lot and go to dinner together from there. He asks if he can drive her car, because it's a Camero and he's never driven one. So they go together in her car, to a restaurant a couple miles away. Dinner goes ok, nothing too crazy. Then he gets up to go to the bathroom and never comes back. after 10 minutes, she gets up to check on him, and her car is gone. He's da

Text - frankylovee • 15h I used to work at a bar where 70% of the customers were on tinder dates. There was a line of two person booths along the wall when you first walk in. There were two dudes sitting by themselves in two different booths. Both of them were facing the door, one was in the first booth one was in the last booth. This girl comes in and walks up to the first booth, says hi to the guy, and sits down. They are chatting for about five minutes when the other guy who is sitting by him

Text - WO 2 Awards Not a disaster but it could have been. Guy hires private room in the very fine dining establishment i'm working in. Dinner for 2, champagne, proposal dinner. Gives us instructions to bring the champagne when she says yes. I jump the gun and poke my head into the room holding the champagne, just to check i havent missed it. Guy sees me, has a panic fit and throws up, all over the table. Woman is very concerned goes over to see if he's ok. He hits "fuck-it" and pulls out the rin

Text - Ive_got_spirit • 19h I worked fine dining in Vail Colorado. I once saw a lady throw red wine all over a guys shirt and leave. He sat and continued eating his spaghetti plate. No fucks.

Text - jeezy_peezy • 15h Bartender here. A couple on a blind date took their seats directly across from the dishwasher so I had to pretend I couldn't hear him (40+, balding, overweight, and drunk) asking her (30+, pretty, friendly, and level- headed): "Listen. I see you over there, just amazing and gorgeous, and l'm wondering what you're seeing in me. What do you think?" She smile/cringed and made an effort to sidestep his questions and change the subject at least 3 times, while he ordered shots

Text - 1 Award I was a waiter at a very famous, upscale restaurant and a gentleman approached the maitre'd requesting someone take pictures of him proposing to his girlfriend. Since I was the closest asshole to the maitre'd I was tasked with performing this duty. After stalking the table for a solid hour the moment was inevitably approaching. I set up at an angle she couldn't see me and when he busted out the ring I started taking as many pictures as I could. Anyone who has tried to capture a on

Text - 3 Awards Guy1 and GF are fondling each other at my bar. Guy2 joins them at the bar and they quickly separate and behave. The three go off into the casino but stop back for drinks a few times. Early AM Guy2 does a shot and walks away; I can tell he isn't happy. He comes back and says he has a couple of hours to kill before his plane leaves. We get to chatting and he tells me he just broke up with his GF as suspects she snuck up to the room and nailed his best friend when he couldn't find e

Text - He thanks me for confirming, leaves a huge tip, and lets me know what is happening in case there is any confusion with the hotel. An hour or so later Guy1 and GF are at the bar whispering and arguing. I casually ask if everything is okay, they say they are locked out of their room and can't find their friend who paid for the room. They tried to charge the bill to the room too but my computer showed the room was empty. I told them Guy2 had been in earlier but checked out and his flight was

Text - Guy1 had paid for his bff and GF to spend a week in Vegas with him. They cheated and got caught. He checked out and flew home and they had no where to stay for the week and no money for even basic food. Their luggage had been packed and left in the baggage hold. They did everything they could to get out of paying for their drinks as they were hella expensive, left no tip, and didn't have a place to sleep or even change clothing at 5AM.

Text - TheRelevantElephants • 21h I used to bartend at a yard house in the beforetimes Yard house is a corporate place that's basically a nicer sports bar with a ton of beer on tap with stupid, giant novelty glasses. I had a couple at the bar during happy hour drinking from one of the big glasses and they ordered some onion rings that were half price, he jokingly proposed with an onion ring and she started laughing and jokingly said yes Then he busted out an actual ring..she wasn't laughing anym

Text - This couple came into this bar that I worked at and it was business as usual; took their order, brought out drinks and food, including dessert. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, this couple began to argue as they work through their dessert about the guy didn't bring a battery pack to charge their phones. Homegirl is straight up screaming at this dude. Luckily, it was a really slow night and they were only ones in the restaurant. I offer to charge their phone if they have their

Text - qonml • 17h I kept my interaction with the table brief, but I'll never forget the time I had a couple come in and as I was setting down the entree the lady looked at her man stone cold; pointed to his phone and said "so who this ho you been texting." Me (of course) neither being the ho nor texter in question made definite haste away from that conversation. I do remember her asking to split the bill at the register tho.

Text - thinkdeep • 17h Bartender for a couple on a Tinder date. They talk for about an hour, he goes to the bathroom but left his jacket on the back of his chair with his wallet and keys in. She stole them, stole his car, and went shopping. That poor schmuck refused to call the cops for an hour because "it was going so well." I felt bad for him.

Text - water_your_dam_plant • 15h I used to work as a hostess at a "Thank Deity it's the Weekend already". Guy makes a reservation at the most booked table. It's by the window, all romantic etc. Also super visible from any other part of the restaurant. Comes in, all dressed up and with a suitcase. Strange, but okay. A few minutes later, his date arrives. They laugh, flirt, we actually thought it's an anniversary or he's going to se or something the way it was going. NOPE pro Half way through the
