I am a shitty person.

[altwight]

Okay so, my buddies and I were drinking a little bit when all of the females decided they wanted some early breakfast.

The time was 3:00am so we decided to go to the local breakfast place (Huddle House) for some grub. Me not wanting to go, I slap on some clothes and make my way out of the house when I realize I've not shoes on. I remember a pair of booties I have in the car from when my girlfriend had an asthma attack yesterday when I didn't have shoes on at the hospital. I figure, these will be sufficient, I'm just going to get some bacon and eggs.

Fast forward 20 minutes, we walk into the diner and sit down, all eight of us. The older lady (who has served all of us multiple times) is obviously having a rough night: "hay how are you?" I respond with, "We're good, and you?", "Oh, I'm just tired." I follow up with "Oh yea? I'm pretty beat myself." this is when she responds with an obvious moody attitude. "Oh great, a comedian." This lady is probably in her late 60s mid 70s ish. REALLY OLD.

I was in no way rude, comedic or anything but sincere when responding to her initial greeting. As I've said before, I'm always the most polite I can be when responding to fast food workers since their job SUCKS!.

She walks away and comes back to take our drink orders and says to me "You're gonna have to leave unless you can find some shoes." I thought she was joking, SERIOUSLY. I respond to her with "Are you serious mam?" because the girl DIRECTLY ACROSS from me is wearing a pair of flipflops and skimpy booty shorts with a tank top that shoes basically everything from her boobs down. The old lady responds aggressively like I'm some sort of teenager with an attitude that needs to be taught a lesson. I have a pair of hospital scrubs on my feet that cover well more than 200% of half the shoes any other person in the restaurant is wearing and she selects me at random because of whatever bad problem she's having.

Obviously pissed off now I respond with "Mam, I'm not leaving and you are NOT going to deny me service because of what I'm wearing on my feet, the girl next to me and 90% of every other girl in this restaurant is wearing less than what I have on my feet." She laughs at me with a smirk on her face (Like she's fucking god or something) and simply walks away with "Okay I can deal with that no problem." as she heads towards the phone at the other end of the gig.

Obviously in my head she's calling the cops for fucking absolutely no goddamn reason. I'm ready to fucking buck horns with this cunt at this time. My buddies however (who are heavily toxicated) want to head out telling me it's not worth it, when damnit to hell it is. I had did absolutely nothing wrong to this woman, treated her absolutely perfect like any other person SHOULD treat her and I get this piss poor service for no goddamn reason.

I eventually am persuaded to leave by my friends. As we're leaving I call the place up (it's local, I go there ALL THE TIME, I know the number, I order to go plates often) and ask for the manager and who do I get? The same woman. I ask for her name and she says to me "Mam, or whatever you are" (I have long hair but I'm obviously a fucking dude, respect hi?) "You have to have rubber soles on your shoes or we cannot serve your." WHAT?! ........ She hangs up on me and when I try to call back, she leaves the phone off the hook, for over... an hour and thirty minutes. I know because we went to another place to eat and the whole time I was trying to call back to get her name, her position and her hours of work so when I call corporate I could let them know what shitty service this fucking bitch gives to get her fired.


My question though, despite being absolutely ONE HUNDRED PERCENT polite, giving her ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to disrespect me in anyway, after being singled out for no reason whatsoever, should I go through with this contacting corporate to have this old bag fired for unnecessary badgering of customers? I am thoroughly upset about this, I mean I don't get upset about ANYTHING generally. However, after being treated the way I was treated for wearing .... a pair of booties I am and I think I have every right to be.

Should I let this go? Was I in the wrong? Logically speaking of course there was some sort of ACTUAL code against not wearing booties in the restaurant (highly unlikely)I would 100% understand but the fact that she left the phone off the hook and refused to respond or have a legitimate conversation with me and going STRAIGHT to the cops (or posing to do so)... ugh

tl;dr: Lady at restaurant refuses service to me after some bullshit excuse just because she's having a bad day after I've given her 100% no reason to disrespect me.


note: this was about 5minutes after she took our drink and meal orders.

edit: nvm was just before she took our orders I believe.

No shirts, no shoes, no service. Private establishments are allowed to serve or not-serve whoever they want?

If you hated it, don't go back.

[altwight]

I was not barefoot.

Please argue with me that these are not considered shoes.

It's like SE banning you. They don't need a reason.

[altwight]

So lets say the cops had actually shown up, would I have gone to jail for refusing to leave?

[Stumblingdrunk]

It seems to me that many of your problems could be avoided by not being awake at 3 am.

yup

Yep.

You sound like a whiny bitch. Even if you personally did or said nothing to this woman, a group of drunk assholes at 3:30am isn't going to command a ton of respect, especially when the one supposed sober member of the group is wearing fucking booties.

[bluefan]

Nothing more annoying than having a group of drunks arrive in your place of work, especially if it's the service industry. If I was the old bat, I would've refused service immediately.

HOW DO YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT NOTICING THAT YOUARE NOT WEARING SHOES? WHAT ISW RONG WITH YOU

[Ikith]

Restaurants have the right to refuse service for any reason. Let it go.

This, let it go. Move on

[Headspace]

If its altwight, it's all right.

[Soa]

You should have grabbed some chairs and started throwing them. Something like this.

Spoiler: show

[Dimmauk]

You should go back again wearing rubbers on your feet.

[Cream Soda]

Did you try to hit her with a water bottle?

[Sepukku]

LOL @ the Denny's video.... just unbelievable how some people are. Was hoping so bad to see an old gentleman still sitting and eating, like a boss, as if nothing were happening around him.

[dejet]

I mean you can just call up if you feel like it and speak to the manager. Explain what happened how you do not plan to come back again. I have to side tho, I use to be a bookkeeper/supervisor at a grocery store(closed the office/last last normal registers) that was open 24/hrs and drunk people really do start to piss you off.

I have had to call the cops because of people who have passed out buying shit or never made it into the store, some screaming and so on; most of the time drunk kids make shit so hard. Im 23 myself and only quit when I was 22 so ya I go out and get drunk but I do my best to stay around others who have been drinking iv seen how much it blows dealing with drunks late at night.

"Mam, I'm not leaving and you are NOT going to deny me service because of what I'm wearing on my feet, the girl next to me and 90% of every other girl in this restaurant is wearing less than what I have on my feet."

First of all, you say this to anyone in the resteraunt business, you will be 100% sure that Waiting 3.0 is going to happen to your food, waiting isn't to far from the truth in some places. Second, stop trying to cause drama in your life, all of your topics seem extremely provocative, and can easily be solved by stop being such a gigantic douche. Third, you forgot to put shoes on? You're retarded.
