The girls bathrooms are always horrifying, but in a different way to the mens. I had to
take an old palette knife once and scrape a bloody tampon off the wall once. And we had
this recurring incident in the mens toilets where someone would come in and stick shitty
toilet paper to the fucking wall, the absolute cunts.
One time I was hosting for the restaurant I normally cook for and on a hot summer day, in the middle of our tourist season, during our dinner rush, a fat greasy slob of a man told me that if I went to the gym once in a while I wouldn't sweat so much.
Needless to say I was not happy about that. Had the cooks make his food spicy as fuck and he and his methhead wife walked out without paying. The dude also snapped his fingers at me several times. I have a ton of stories but I've never met someone as rude as that guy.
Im not even fat, I'm just not fit.
>>7662552
were they south american by any chance?
>>7664812
>letting a fat ass tell you "you should hit the gym"

>>7662692
>that time we caught an indian guy who was just walking around tickling women's butts feather lightly with his fingertips
butts that don't just suddenly release poo without warning are a whole new world for him, be lenient

sounds like the start of a gay porn

No, they were natives to my country, who have no fucking clue hoe to drink coffee probably. You can make them a beautiful espresso based cappucino or latte or even a well made pour over and they'll always fucking ask for a pot of hot water to go with it, "so I can top if up if it's too strong or not warm enough!". Pisses me the fuck off.
