Waitresses, What Is The Worst First Date You've Ever Seen? r/AskReddit Reddit Stories | Top Posts

waiters waitresses what is the worst first date you've witnessed oh man thanks for asking this one i've got a great one happened at my former restaurant reservation for six o'clock young guy comes in a few minutes early tells me he's kind of nervous because it's a first date and he hasn't had many before blah blah blah kinda sweet really anyways girl arrives about half an hour late and proceeds to get very very drunk about midway through the meal she answers her phone takes the call and starts talking about her date in front of her date saying stuff like well he's not usually my type i don't exactly like him but i felt like why not right in front of him young man looks so discouraged walks up to me pays his bill and leaves he's a really nice guy he's come to the place i work at now a few times he reached for his water and punched it directly into her lap there was this young guy eating dinner with his mom i noticed they seemed weirdly uncomfortable and distant but didn't think much of it turns out the lady was not his mom he had met her on a dating site and had been very clearly catfished the lady was at least a good 20 years older than him when she left the restaurant he stayed behind and told me about what happened then asked me out i politely declined but agreed with him that that was a really weird situation i work at a pretty high-end steakhouse i got sat with a table of two and when i greeted them i assumed they were a couple it took them quite a while to order their food i had to go back quite a few times and ask if they were ready after an hour of them talking ordering cocktails and looking at the menu they finally ordered the woman ordered a filet mignon and the guy ordered our most expensive steak right before their food came out i saw the guy get up and walk towards the bathroom my co-workers ran their food to their table and the woman sat there with all the food in front of her i thought he was coming back soon but around 20 minutes went by and there was no sign of him my manager walked over to me and asked me what was up with them i said the guy was in the bathroom my manager went and asked her if she wanted us to keep the food under the warmer she said yes and the food was under the warmer for maybe an hour while she sat at the table alone i walked over to her and asked if everything was all right she immediately broke down said it was their first date and that they met on tinder apparently she told him that a steakhouse was a little much for a first date and suggested coffee instead but he said no as they were sitting there talking he looked at his phone and said my daughter has an emergency and he quickly got up and left she was texting him after and he never replied this girl balled to me for 20 minutes repeatedly saying what's wrong with me and i had to reassure her he doesn't know what he's missing blah blah i went over to my manager and asked what we should do about the check he said he was stuck because it was a 250 dollar tab and that's too much to just not have her pay after a few minutes of convincing him i got him to take everything off the bill i boxed up all the food including his steak and sides brought it over to her and told her to enjoy the night she stopped crying thanked me and left after writing this i'm now wondering if they swindled me this isn't as bad as some of the others but the guy and girl arrived separately and it seemed like they were meeting for the first time at the restaurant they sat down then the girl excused herself and went to the bathroom the guy ordered drinks for them both while she was gone then after like 30 minutes ordered two meals it was so obvious she wasn't coming back but he kept calling her and eventually just left all the food and drink and touched and paid the bill couple years ago i was tending bar at a high-end steak joint a pretty brunette walked in and sat down at the bar after fixing her a cocktail i asked if she'd like to see a dinner menu she explained that she was waiting for a date a few moments later the guy arrived he was carrying a large bag which he carefully sat down next to him it was immediately obvious this date was their first their conversation was lurching from force to downright painful when he reached into the bag and pulled out an album containing comma his pokemon card collection he set the book on the bar and thumb through each page thoroughly and lovingly describing every card attempting to educate his date and the ways of japanese pocket monsters i'll be fair to the guy dude was passionate she feigned an emergency and called her friend to pick her up he stayed and ate a plain hamburger at the bar at it both of these people were in their mid-30s bartended for a decade for a while i was at a medium-range italian restaurant more than once i saw a first date go awry because one of the two drank too much most memorable was a woman who started downing rum punches they were at a table so i couldn't see them and i guess the waiter had forgotten his red light yellow light training i don't know if they still do that after the sixth one i asked if these were all going to the same person and he said yes i was like oh it sure enough girl ended up puking all over my bathroom and locking herself in when we got the door open she was passed out and there was puke everywhere including all over her no cab would touch her so the guy ended up taking her home he came in a week later and said they were going on another date i was skeptical they've been married for about 15 years and are absurdly happy she avoids rum punches i'm not service staff but i often eat drink alone and people watch and first dates are almost always painfully obvious worst one i ever saw two people who were probably perfect for each other they were both completely self-absorbed how completely they both started stories and kept telling them at the same time they weren't even listening just talking at each other i was enraptured by the sheer insanity of it i didn't eat for like 45 minutes as they both just yapped away barely stopping a bartender at popular burger and wine bar i had an older gentleman about 60 years old come in on a wednesday evening and order a bottle of wine and two glasses as he's waiting for someone to show this other older woman shows up a short while later and both of them hit it off they sat themselves right behind my post so basically anytime i had to ring something in i had a front row seat to their date both of them crush three bottles of wine and sit there for about four hours talking away around the fourth hour of them sitting they both started making out randomly and will not stop they started sucking faces with an uncomfortable intensity somewhat terrifying all my bar guests and myself at one point the older fella leaves for the bathroom and his day proceeds to let me know it's their first time meeting not entirely the worst first date for them i suppose but definitely was for me and the other customers i once saw a guy try and impress his date by pretending to know about wine he then proceeded to pronounce every single wrong one i don't even know how i would phonetically write out his butchering of shadley and sauvignon blanc date looked at him like he'd just taken a rit on the table i have no idea if they were on a date or been married for too long but this we had our flight cancelled due to a snowstorm on christmas eve the only place open for dinner was an indian restaurant there were a few customers in there it was an interesting looking bunch sort of what you'd expect eating out on christmas eve this one couple though looked to be in their 40s a guy and a woman she never said a word and looked like she was in a trance the guy though kept talking at her in this slow monotone and another thing i hate about you and proceeded to critique her while she continued to stare into space couple in their mid-20s comes in it's obviously a first date but they seem to really like each other and are getting along well i wasn't serving them however i was serving the table next to them about halfway through their meal i notice them holding hands over the table cute then the guy lifts her hand to his lips and kisses the back of it a bit of an outdated gesture but still cute i guess the woman seems slightly confused but goes along with it a little while later i see the guy do it again okay dude then again woman is confused and looks a little uncomfortable they are no longer holding hands i go to serve my table and see the dude full on making out with her hand tongue and all woman looks extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable looking everywhere but at her date i go over and casually ask if they need anything and the dude stops woman yanks her hand back she left pretty soon after i was hanging out at starbucks and witnessed a horrible date she was japanese and he started off by showing her his shirt with sumo wrestlers on it then would ask questions like what's your favorite sushi do you only speak japanese how do you say toilet in japanese they have sumo in japan right did you see my shirt it was so amazingly awkward i bought another cup of coffee to listen to the entire thing witnessed a cpl on their first day having a few drinks started making out by the third dude cried by the fourth started sucking on her finger cried again abruptly ran out of the bar and down the street she paid came back two weeks later i pretended not to recognize him to be nice and he brought it up acai think you served me on a date two weeks ago i dunno man i serve a lot of people acai it was you remember i cried and ran away bruh i'm a host at a restaurant but my first week working a gay couple got in a fight in the middle of their meal drawing attention from everyone in the restaurant before my manager could step in and stop it one stood up and shouted you're the reason most people are straight and left i've always thought about how it is both a roast or compliment depending on sexuality this probably doesn't compare to some of these freak show stories but i'll tell it anyways i worked for ihop for a very long three months most of my experiences were decent on one occasion one of my acquaintances came in with a date we had been friends as kids and still sometimes chatted amicably at this time i had a stutter that would happen if i spoke too quickly was stressed or just trying to speak hard words i went up to their table said hi to my friend and her date and instantly flubbed the greeting with a stutter honestly my stutter has never bothered me never felt like a bad thing until that moment her date look at me did that little condescending laugh that we've all heard before and then repeated what i said while mocking my stutter i could see my friend physically recoil from him her face clearing showing did you really just act that way expression at the time i just brushed it off it bothered me for about two seconds in the moment but even years later i still haven't forgotten still i could tell with that one little moment of actually my friend was not gonna go on a second date with him not a waiter but me and my gf sat next to an obvious first date at a pan-asian fusion restaurant zen in durham uk she comments that her main course wasn't quite what she expected and thought it would be spicier he then snaps his fingers above his head very loudly so half the restaurant turns round to look and a waitress rolls her eyes and goes over he demands that they cook i.t again and make it hotter next thing there's half a dozen eye waitresses around the table calling him worse than it entire might igf translated causing a massive scene while her face turns red and they take her plate away she then has to sit with no food while he continues eating he eventually realizes he's ducked up and stops eating but she sarcastically tells him to enjoy his food they brought her a fresh plate and they eat in silence first and i'm sure the last date girl and guy came into the barbecue restaurant i worked at they met at the door exchanging the usual hi nice to meet you etc the guy was a complete d she ordered ribs and he said do you want to keep that hot figure of yours or look like that chick over there points to slightly overweight woman then when they were waiting to pay he starts flirting with the chick behind them she did just waited until he paid then left without waiting for the food i've shared this story before but i once had two very young like 15 and most teenage boys come into my place for what was clearly their first date together if not their first date ever maybe 20 minutes into their date one of their mothers showed up realized it was a boy her son was on a date with and started screaming and crying about she didn't understand how he could do this to her and didn't he know she wanted grandchildren etc etc just flipped out and was totally homophobic and told him he wasn't allowed in her home if he was going to choose this lifestyle he started crying his poor date was totally bewildered and ended up calling his mom to come take them home i was on a first date and we were comparing extracurricular activities he was in a bowling league and played softball i was on a dart league and played volleyball we were talking about darts and whether it was wasn't an activity that demanded some sort of skill over luck i felt a bit insulted by his patronizing attitude and before our food even came we started to argue across the rather large booth where we sat he said fine since you're so sk are led at darts see if you can get an ice cube into my mouth from there and i said fine open up he opened his mouth and i launched an ice cube straight into the back of his throat his eyes bugged he clamped his mouth shut grabbed his throat and fell over in the seat this waitress that had been standing nearby shaking her head at our stupid argument ran over to help when he sat up threw the ice cube onto the table yelled duck you and stomped out i said that i was really sorry that i didn't mean to get it into his throat blah blah but he kept on stomping and i never saw him again sometimes it's better to be lucky than good edit listen i wasn't ever that great of a dart player but whipping ice at some clown across a table is a lot closer than shooting a dart almost eight feet taller dartboard that said it was a complete accident it all happened so fast that it took me a moment to realize what was going on mostly when the waitress came rushing over we were all pretty surprised and i sincerely tried to apologize but the trauma was done after he left the waitress laughed her ass off which made me laugh a little but i didn't actually laugh about it until i told my friends later that night also i paid for dinner edit thank you for silver i served a table where the woman looked frightened and had a body language like she's leaning away from the guy while gathered tight my co-workers would ask me if she's okay after they passed through my section the guy was sitting and leaning over the table looked like he was invading her space angry looking guy he talked to her like she was a dog that just pissed on the rug when he went to the bathroom i asked if she's okay and she said yes i doubt he got a second date though does my first date count not too long ago i was 18 and we went to a small cafe registered sign not the most glamorous but he and i had known each other a while and both agreed we wanted somewhere pretty basic as we were talking i noticed this older woman across from us giving us nasty looks if looks could kill i would have died 10 years ago and talking to her husband who was obviously trying to get her to quiet down keep in mind with two guys on a date and the conservative south now at this point he hasn't noticed her and i haven't said anything i get up to use the restroom and this lady gets up and grabs my arm and starts mouthing off about how inappropriate it is to be acting this way with someone of the same six and spouting off a bunch of bible thumping garbage i look at my date and he is super bewildered the husband grabs his wife's arm and says go get in the goddamn car we're leaving and escorts her out the door the husband actually came back and apologized before offering to cover our bill we declined but appreciated the gesture edit damn this blew up a bit more political commentary than i was expecting if i'm honest but i guess i did technically ask for it idk what the husband's views were but it was nice to see that he thought it was wrong to denoin someone so openly lyle that i've been around people with dementia a lot my mom has worked in mouths all my life i've been to her work a lot but i couldn't tell you whether or not she was slipping considering i only saw her for a moment and yes southern gentlemen do exist it's a miracle hi for the comments and attention by far my biggest comment edit 2 thanks for the silver i feel special girl was obviously super into guy and he seemed like he was at least somewhat interested they both talked and joked with me overall great table cut to the check i ask if it will be together and the girl smiles at the guy he promptly says no separate please her face dropped and he blatantly wrote his number on the check with a little note for me that poor girl almost cried as she quietly shuffled out the door what an ass he was i was involved in the date but the story is about my waiter it's a first date from a plenty of fish lady who i had been chatting with it's at a medium terror italian restaurant in north kansas city i get there and my waiter is a shaved head huge muscular guy very low key and professional i get a glass of wine waiting for my date i eventually get a second glass of wine about 30 minutes into it and no text responses i tell him i'll just order some food to go guys a total professional doesn't let on anything about what is obviously happening to me finally he brings the back with the to-go order in it sets it on the table and leans in and says i put some extra biscuits in there i tipped him well and left i worked as a waitress in an italian restaurant while in uni in 2006 obvious first date comes in he's booked it and requested a table in a secluded area of the restaurant because the acoustics would be perfect she arrives and asks to move table to by the window no big deal he's annoyed at this they ordered a carafe of the house red with their meals anything she said he'd turn it into some achievement he'd already accomplished he kept making comments about her order such as how fattening a dish would be etc and then proceeded to say his family owned a vineyard and he knew a good red wine when he smelt one he then asked for the most expensive wine on the menu and to take away the what he called piss of a house wine then talked about how the bouquet was different and the clarity was so much better on the expensive wine when it came to dessert she had enough of his head and flipped when he said that she shouldn't have any or she'd end up with stretch marks she was a bit overweight but not overly so she stood up and yelled at him for being a condescending piece of it for knowing duck all about wine and drop the cootie gross that her father was our wine supplier and that the house red was exactly the same as the most expensive wine all of which was totally true he was left speechless with the full check to pay i had a table i'm pretty sure was a married couple in their 50s clearly together etc so call it a date anyways as they were out for dinner together so it qualifies in a way they both ordered draft beer when i was bringing it out i came to the table and the woman was screaming and crying uncontrollably the man bending over her i thought she was having a medical emergency turns out she got a call that a parent had died a man turned to me and shoved a card at me asking to pay because i have to leave a sap and i said it's okay they had not had anything i was still holding the beers and get this i got a retup for doing this as if i was going to make these people pay for two beers they never even sip because a genuine emergency happened so the giant big corporation can add 12 dollars to their 600 million i had a two top in a small booth and across from them was a family of six the two top was in their mid 40s maybe 50 i was delivering food to the six top and i was being berated for not using legs with my big trays so i grabbed a pair and headed off when i was setting them down a stacked plate on my tray shifted to the side and the whole tray pitched toward the sixth top panicked and tried to stop it from falling and it all went backwards off the tray and luckily i didn't hear a stingle plate shatter i turned around and the woman at the two top had rib sauce on her face mashed potatoes in her bust and broccoli all over her lap i started with i'm so sorry mom please stand up and we'll get you cleaned up my six top was forgotten at that moment i pleaded with her to get up so we could clean her off someone produced a towel for me i had two managers trying to help she was so polite and insistent that it was nobody's fault her husband finally said at least wipe the sauce off your face and she laughed and got up everything was calmed on that ticket including alcohol it was the only tray i ever dropped and they never made me use legs again they came back in and asked for me the next week the husband told me they were celebrating 30 years together that night i felt horrible then he told me on their first date she made spaghetti and accidentally dumped it in his lap he told her it was karma and they had a huge laugh and a free meal not a waiter but i cannot miss the opportunity to share this story friend and i meet up in a chain restaurant for a meal and a catch-up in the booth across from us or a guy and a girl in their 20s very obviously on a date things seem to be going moderately well just kind of let them do their thing in the background as my friend and i chat about life and stuff then then guy stands up halfway through the girl's sentence cutting her off it's quite a violent standing so draws the attention of most tables nearby guy then says this in a way that makes me think he has rehearsed i'm sorry jen i just wanted to give women one more chance but i can't do it you're lively but women just aren't doing it for me guy throws some money on the table and walks out jen kinda sits there with everyone looking at her going redder and redder lovely waitress swoops in and saves the day for her but wow never seen anything that completely insane before or since at least just wait for the date to be over and politely decline a second tl dr guy decides he was gay mid heterodate stands up loudly renounces women and leaves his date embarrassed as all hell i had a guy come in who was supposed to meet his date there he waited for a bit and i made sure to check on him quite often to make sure he was good after about 30 minutes of him nervously waiting he finally gave up and motioned me for the bill he got a drink and a very small appetizer while waiting i told him not to worry about and genuinely felt bad for him i hope he's happy with someone now i will look like a piece of it but ducky this was about 15 years ago i was a trendy restaurant late that night with a friend and beside us we had a couple that was on their first date the girl was hot and had a very sexy voice which captivated me i kept staring that voice at some point you could tell she was not entrusted twice she took calls and left the table you could also tell the guy had figured it out so he asks for the bill girl was still on the phone later i found out with a friend begging for a ride so dude pays for the bill and vanishes on our way out the girl was still waiting for a friend i started chit-chatting and damn did we connect and we mostly connected at how cringy that date was she almost pissed herself he laughed for like an hour i mean me and my friend were half a feet away it was like we were the third and fourth wheel and that date was awkward as duck so she eventually tagged along we met up friends at a nearby nightclub and we ended up dating for like three years work at a bubble tea restaurant right near a college it's a nice hangout spot with dim lighting comfortable furniture and board games a lot of first dates happen here probably the worst i've ever seen was this guy that looked somewhere between 17 and 19 years old who met up with this girl around the same age they got teased and took a seat at a table and played a board game and talked his mother sat at the table next to him the entire time and just stared them down it made me feel so bad for him but the icing on the cake is when she goes up to them at 8 30 and tells them that it's time for the two of them her and her son that is to head home the guy is visibly pissed but says goodbye to her and follows his mom out girl comes up to order another tea and i asked her about it she was more than happy to fill me in the other girls in this lady had essentially injected herself into the date interrupting their conversation and critiquing her son's behavior i'm not a waiter but sat next to one heck of an awkward first date it seemed there was an older couple setting up two younger people and the four of them were on a double date anyway the young guy was a complete douche i distinctly remember him telling a drawn out story about his shirt and how it had square buttons and they were better for some reason and he bought it at this exclusive place for men where they have hot women come and fit you for clothes the rest of his stories were similar and he did most of the talking the older woman was enthralled by the young guy's stories the older guy and the young woman seemed annoyed out of fire minds to make thing worse the couple next to them were texting back and forth furiously and giggling the whole time that couple was me and my wife texting about them not a server but a bartender my girlfriend was serving an obvious first date and they were ordering an alarming amount of drinks with 30 minutes of sitting down i asked my gf what was going and she said the girl was doing all of the shots they ordered i walked from behind the bar to the bathroom purely to check in on the situation and good lord this girl on the date was blasted and just saying duck every other word eventually the chick went outside to smoke and the dude be lying to the bar and asked if he could give me money for the waitress and sneak out actually gave 200 for a 70 tab so nice the girl came back in and ate the food they ordered then tried to order more drinks had to throw her out and she started calling me a wenger i'm very much a white dude bizarre ass night that my girl and i still talk about years later i know one of mine qualifies we were both pretty passionate people about world events and we both had our opinions we met in a politics class and had a lot in common so we came in all nervous and lovey like you do but it was pretty clear from the get-go we weren't going to work and so i stood my ground as she stood hers about 20 minutes in and the waitress asked us to please lower our voices as we were bothering some of the other guests neither of us had realized but we were almost in a screaming match about whether or not the u.s should deploy armed forces to darfur she moved to england shortly thereafter i'd like to believe i wasn't a contributing factor you
