Rude customers exist everywhere you go, but those who have worked in restaurants claim that religious folk are a different breed.
On the internet, there are many examples of churchgoers who warn against sinning but indulge heavily in sinning of their own, such as tipping poorly or not at all and treating servers like they’re less than human beings.
TikToker Kellie (@ambryrae) is a restaurant host, and she’s sharing a story that involves this specific demographic of customers.
One Sunday, a party of 25 came into the restaurant after church. A lady from the large group asked Kellie how long it would take for them to be seated.
Kellie told her that the wait would be between 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. She then wrote down the lady’s name and phone number so she could text her when her table was ready.
Twenty minutes later, she approached Kellie at the host stand again, saying that she had not received a text. Kellie explained that their table wasn’t ready yet.
Another 20 minutes later, she walked up to Kellie with a bunch of people in her party. Once again, Kellie told her that it would take an hour to an hour and 15 minutes to be seated.
Finally, their table was ready, so Kellie led the group to an area toward the back of the restaurant. Immediately, the lady complained about how it wasn’t a private room. Kellie informed her that they didn’t have any private rooms and that a table with 25 seats was the best she could do for them.
She left to warn the servers about the large party. Then, she returned to check on them. Most of them were walking around the room and hadn’t even taken their coats off yet. The lady waved Kellie over, asking how long it would take for their food to come out.
