I’d like to speak to the manager.

We were busy tonight. The 7th most revenue ever.

I answer the phone around 3:45.

It’s a regular looking for a reservation.

I have space. I book them.

Then.

They insist on a specific server.

Hahaha.

I laugh.

The floor plan is mapped out for the night.

They’d have needed to call two weeks ago to get that.

They are not happy.

I don’t apologize but explain it’s too late in the day to remedy it.

They arrive.

And are seated.

And they are assholes to their server.

There is nothing worse than approaching a table knowing that you were not their first choice.

They were a pain from start to finish.

That is all.
