Terrible Service

She couldn't have been worse at her job
She clumsily flung her hoop earring into my husband's coke
While getting out her pen to take our food order
The coke was diet, when he ordered a regular
She was clearly trying to make a statement
About my husband being fat
Which was rude of her
She had 4 other tables
And the other 3 seemed to dislike her just as much as we did
I flagged her down at 06:27 pm
To tell her that the orange in my blue moon had a booger on it
She told me she had 2020 vision
And insisted the booger on my orange was only pulp
I demanded a new blue moon without a booger on the orange
And she said she would have to charge me
I grabbed my fat husband and stormed out of the restaurant
Because I don't want anything that isn't free
What a terrible waitress

The answer to receive great service is leaving a great tip. It doesn’t hurt to lay it down early. My hubby is a big tipper and when we enter a restaurant they remember him by name. Loved your poem Ciara. Congratulations on your win! Blessings xxoo

Hello Ciara, thank you so much for this excellent entry into my contest. I was amazed and glad for this amazing attempt. If not for slightly missing out in the rules (no sponsor's name, no date of publication, no information about your most viewed poem used), you would have been placed higher. Weldon.

I'm the waitress, but was writing from the customer's perspective on this one
