One of these days I’m really going to need to learn to cook. Either that or learn to control myself a little better when I pop in places to grab a bite. Or ask to be seated way in the back where there’s little chance of entitled assholes being sat near me. This ass and his wife, who was probably just as bad as him, even though she didn’t say anything so I can’t be sure, came in and got sat at the table near mine and immediately started berating the poor waitress because she told them she’d be right with them while on her way to drop off another tables orders. Then when she did come to give them their menus and take their orders, he snapped at her that they didn’t need the menu because they already knew what they wanted - they were going to eat it and go. After she took his order he told her they were in a hurry because they were going to be late to their church service so needed it brought out right away and then he proceeded to throw a fit loud enough to get everyone in the places attention when she told him there were tickets ahead of his in the back but she’d bring his order out as soon as it was ready.

I couldn’t help myself. I just had to ask why if they were that short on time that he couldn’t wait his turn - they hadn’t picked a less busy place to eat? You could see from the parking lot that the place was packed! And even if he somehow missed all the cars out there there is no possible way he could have missed every table and the counter full.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Independence Day. I know personally how grateful I am for this country giving me all the opportunities I've had, none of which would have been possible if my adopted American parents had not brought me here from the refugee camp in the Congo all those years ago.

God Bless America, and may we never take our freedom for granted.
