What did you say?

  1. A woman looking at a retail display, loudly commented to her friend, “Why, you can get that for $4 at ALDI!” No, you can’t, but by all means, go there.
  2. “We always get the worst waitresses.” Maybe it’s you! (And, join the 21st century, they’re servers. I hate that term too, but at least it’s gender neutral.)
  3. “Let’s sit in the corner where no one can see us.” Said the man to his ‘friend’. They came in once a week and snuggled at the end of the bar for a couple of hours. They haven’t been in for months. Did their spouses find out?
  4. “Trump is the best!” There’s a barbeque place down the street!
  5. “Trump scares the shit out of me!” Enjoy a complimentary dessert on the house!
  6. “Do you have salt?” Who asks that? Nope, not a speck! Salt in a restaurant in America? Never!
  7. “I’m allergic to garlic, dairy, and gluten. What do you recommend?” That you stay home. (Sorry, Karen!)
  8. The host asks, “Can I help you?” The customer grunts rudely, “You serve food here, right? I want to eat!” Have you never been greeted by a host? Ever eaten anywhere other than Taco Bell? There’s a Subway
