A waitress has vented about customers who ask ‘dumb’ questions, use plastic cutlery and sit by themselves at a table.
Grace is a server in the U.S. and shared annoying things that customers who come into the restaurant she works at do all the time.
She is infuriated with diners who ask ‘stupid’ questions because they didn’t read the menu properly, as well as customers who ask for a different sauce or side each time she returns to their table rather than all at once.
Grace’s takes had many hospitality workers in hysterics as they agreed with her ‘ick’ list; however, others weren’t so impressed and branded the waitress ‘lazy’ and ‘entitled’, prompting her to hit back.
‘After working a double on Father’s Day and getting severely under-tipped, I have a lot of things I need to say,’ Grace ranted in a TikTok clip.

Grace (pictured), a waitress from the US, has shared the things diners to do give her the ‘ick’ a work from asking ‘dumb’ questions to seating themselves
Coming in at number one on Grace’s list was people who ask her questions about information that is freely available on the menu.
‘Every time I step into my job, I think of the video of the girl that’s like being a server is so hard because people will ask the dumbest f***ing question you have ever heard in your life and you have to look them with a straight face like they didn’t just do that,’ she joked.
‘You read the menu to see you wanted the salmon, why are you asking me, ‘Does it comes with sides?’ when clearly right next to it, it says served with broccoli and mashed potatoes? Don’t p*** me off.’
Second on Grace’s list was the ‘plastic silverware brigade’ who ask for disposable cutlery thinking it’s more hygienic.
‘Do y’all not understand that you’re using plastic silverware to eat off of a plate that went through the same dishwasher as the silverware?’ she asked.
‘If anything, I feel like the silverware is cleaner than the plates because we have to run the silverware through twice so do what you will with that information.’
Grace then took aim at diners who ask for something every time she comes back to their table.
‘I drop something off, I ask ‘Do y’all need anything else?’, you say ‘Oh, yeah can I get a side of A1 (sauce)?’. Cool, I bring back the side of A1, ‘Oh, can I get a side of ketchup?’ OK, I go get the ketchup and bring it back,’ she explained.
‘Don’t ask me for anything else because why can’t you just ask me everything at once?’
Grace’s fourth ‘ick’ was people who sit themselves down at a table rather than waiting for the host.
She admitted now that she works in fine dining, she doesn’t see it often anymore but said it ‘still bothers’ her.
‘You walk to the host stand and we say we’re not sitting anymore because we close in two minutes,’ Grace said.
‘So you just walk and sit yourself and just wait for someone to come over there. We close in 120 seconds. What?’
Another annoyance Grace has with some customers is those who ask for a straw before she’s finished serving their drinks.
‘You see, I have four drinks in my hand. I’ve only sat down two of them, while I still have two drinks in my hand, ‘can I have a straw?’,’ she said.

‘B****, can you wait for me to put everything down so I can give you a straw?’
Finally Grace said Sundays are pandemonium on Sundays everywhere she’s worked in part because of ‘church crowds’.
‘Sundays are the worst day to work at any restaurant. I don’t know what it is, what it is about Sundays, it’s just a s*** show everywhere,’ she said.
‘You just praised the lord and now you’re in here acting a fool, being rude and you just tipped me $5 and act like you just gave me the key to the city.’
Grace’s video racked up more than 143,000 views and sparked a lively discussion in the comments.
‘Been a waitress for years and all of this is chefs kiss, especially the running back and forth to grab something new for a table,’ one server agreed.
”You guys should’ve put this on the menu because I didn’t know that’, it is on the menu right there in BOLD letters actually,’ laughed another.
‘I had a lady ask me yesterday ‘What type of lettuce does the spinach and berries salad come on?’ So I feel you girl,’ a third added.
”Can I have a straw?’ triggered me to the gods, oh my lord, makes me feral every time,’ joked a fourth.
But not everyone was happy with Grace’s list with many pointing out how often waiters don’t provide drink straws.
‘Sometimes y’all forget to give straws so yes I’m asking,’ one viewer replied.
‘You also have to take into consideration that some people experience bad service so they aren’t sure what to expect with each server,’ a second chimed in.
‘Nah I don’t care if y’all run the silverware through five times I’m going to still ask for plastic,’ one fussy diner said.
Another called Grace a ‘lazy and entitled’ who ‘hates her job’ but she wasn’t having any of it and leapt to her defence in a follow up clip.
‘I have absolutely no problem doing my job, I have no problem bringing people things that they need,’ she said.
‘I do have a problem with people who don’t have restaurant etiquette and feel like they can treat people like s*** just because they are a paying customer.’
