Glorious moment a customer called out asshole bar guest.

Lady comes in to pick up an order she made online. I went and asked the take out server if it was ready. The take out screen was COMPLETELY full. 4 pages of orders, which is crazy for take outs for us- but ok. Not to mention I am also putting guests on a 20 minute wait at the door because the kitchen staff are absolutely buried, and you can't just keep piling that shit on them.

I tell the lady how busy we are, and that it will be a while, and offer her to wait at out bar for a complimentary soda, or chips.

She rolls her eyes and sits down. About 4-5 minutes later as I am wiping a table down near the bar I hear her literally yelling over and over again, just saying "WAITING WAITING WAITING WAITING!"

She was just yelling the word "waiting" over and over again like a fucking child. I tell her that she needs to calm down, and that EVERYBODY is waiting and they don't really want to.

This upsets her. She then starts yelling "FUCKING WAITING FUCKING WAITING FUCKING WAITING" over and over.

All the managers are on the line helping the cooks, so I am getting prepared to ask her to leave myself when a woman at a table nearby walks up. She tells the lady that is throwing a tantrum to grow up. She says "Ma'am while you're busy acting like a goddamn child, my 9 and 10 year old are over there waiting patiently. They're not screaming, being rude, or making anyone uncomfortable. You should be really embarrassed of yourself that you haven't learned how to act in public. I am embarrassed for you."

Then she just walked away. I was in shock. I couldnt even move for a minute. The lady throwing the tantrum just stood up, called our restaurant a shit hole, and stormed out the door.
