A Rant I Can't Control

Yeah, I'm not getting jack squat out of this, but I need this off my chest. So, here's the story.


I went to Denny's, a place I enjoy going to, for dinner with my parents. The diner is normally a little slow, so I expected it be like this. So my parents and I ordered our meal and stuff, and we waited. We waited for awhile, with a couple of tables also waiting. The thing is, there was one cook, one waitress, and the manager. We had gotten our food, chatting happily and eating, and then another table got their food.

I asked my dad how the food was, and he said it was warm (he had chicken tenders and fries). All our food was perfectly fine.

It was about two minutes after the other table got their food, and then they just suddenly got up, and walked out. I heard the man mumble, "...Too cold."

What I found extremely rude was A, they were stealing, and B, when I looked at where the chef placed it and rang the bell, it was steaming. They had absolutely no right to complain.

So of course we complained about it.

We told our waitress, who told the manager. You could tell she was working hard for something. When they had more costumers, she smiled and said, "Welcome to Denny's!", even with these horrible problems.

I was ashamed that I couldn't do a single thing about it. I was so angry at myself I cried, and my mom had to help me calm down. My dad even asked if we could stack up some tables, save the trouble. But we couldn't. We couldn't do a single thing.

And I wanted to help, really bad. So bad I got so angry at myself, I couldn't look our waitress. The guilt just packed and packed until I snapped. We paid for our food, and left. I cried silently home, like the crybaby I am. I ran up the steps to our door, turned on a light, went to my room and cried again.

I wanted to help in some way, at least do something, but I couldn't. Denny's is the restaurant I know by heart how to get to, and I love it. The food is good and worth the wait. Those people were dumb enough to get away with it. Two tables got their food for free, and one stole.

None of you might not care, but I do. And if my dream as a primatologist doesn't go out well, I'm gonna open a Denny's in honor of them. Or, when I'm older, I'll work at the Denny's.

Now, if you say, "Things like this happen all the time, and you're gonna have to get used to it." I realize that. But I can't just let things like this slide. I felt the need to do something, even the smallest thing (We gave the waitress and $10 tip, btw).

So call me a crybaby, throw an insult at me, I don't care. I'm just trying to help something I care deeply about, that I can't do anything, but I will do something.

Next time you see a business in need, with very few people working and people leaving because they're selfish and rude, give your waiter/waitress a huge tip(5 to ten dollars, at least), it's the least anyone can do.

(You probably don't care, and I'll respect you for that. Take on with your life and have a wonderful night/day.)
