Another reason why I don't eat in truck stop restaurants much anymore because...... [View all]

the way people treat waitresses is so disgusting to see.

I was at Flying J which has a Denny’s restaurant attached to the truck stop. I was in there for breakfast. A younger girl came over to serve me. She very polite and tried to start a conversation with me, but before she says anything? A guy was walked in, sat down and yelled “what does it take to get any service here”! Now, he just sat down at the counter! The waitress told him that it wasn’t her section but she would get his waitress. A few minutes went by and the waitress for that section came out from the back. The guy yelled at her too, saying derogatory things about her being slow. By that the manager walked out and asked what is wrong. That guy yells out “I haven’t seen this slow of service anyway before”. The manager politely apologized and than asked him leave!

I am still waiting for my breakfast, when my waitress came over apologize to me. I replied “no worries”. The guy left in a huff. But when he got up to leave? I saw that he had Trump T-shirt on! That explains it all!

I finished my breakfast, paid my bill and tip both waitresses. No one should ever be treated like that, ever!

I don’t know if he was a truck driver, local towns person, or just traveling thru? Whoever he was? What an absolute idiot! The derogatory language and his lack of integrity reminds of that one person who leads them around by their noses! Pathetic and disgraceful!
