50 Photos Of People Who Are Having A Worse Day At Work Than You (New Pics)

I used to manage a restaurant and as I got paid a decent wage any tables left like this I would clean as I didn't think it fair to let me staff in minimum wage (owner finally increased this to living wage after I badgered him constantly). One day a family left the table in an awful mess and I had a migraine and was extra annoyed, the mum came over and asked for a broom and dust pan and brush etc to clean it herself as "my baby did it, I'll clean it up" and I nearly cried on her shoulder!

This isn’t limited to small children. I’ve seen tables that look like this after a group of teenagers has been there.

me, after spilling one drop of water on the table at a resturaunt: oh no I am a burden to the server's existence

Always ban people who do this, then inform your neighbouring restaurants to do the same - I've done it several times and it's very satisfying !!

We always clean up after my nephew but there were like 2 or 3 occasions where his mom just couldn't clean it all because she took him out alone and didn't have help so she left a massive tip ($20-$30 on a check of almost same value) and apologized profusely because he was being a pain so she couldn't clean it all up. But his messes never got this out if control because she made sure not to let him do this nonsense; maybe just the small area directly under the highchair. But then again we were both waitresses and hated when this happened to us so we tried to be decent and considerate people when taking him out.

The owner of a restaurant I worked at actually banned families that did this c**p! It's fabulous to see the look on their faces after being told they were not welcome back ever again!!! BTW small town so many were known by name!

Kids can be messy, but they're their parents' responsibility. I once saw some man in restaurant with three kids, kids were messy, so guy borrowed brush and dustpan from staff and cleaned up everything. How someone can leave their table looking like this is beyond my understanding.

not only that you can tell the parents never had to work in the food industry with how the plates are scattered.

I guarantee they would not let them do this at home, because then they would have to clean it up! So rude and disrespectful!

When I worked as a waitress, a family came in and the mom laid down a plastic sheet and the high chair on top of that. When they left she emptied the crumbs into the trash. That was above and beyond but I thought was ingenious and I was so grateful.

Parenting coach and child development specialist here! Young children learn by watching the adults, so parents need to be a good role model. Parents that don't role model manners, respect, and daily living skills will be creating miserable, self-centered adults!!

As a former fast food worker..... YES

I deal with this at my job every single day so i begged my boss to let me cook because i have a tendency to clean till i feel like its a completely clean

This is what happens when you are friends with children, rather than the parent they need. (Friends don't judge you and always support you, a horrible attitude for a parent)

I always made them be careful. What we did at home we did out.

Or, you could realize that there's not much you can do in a restraunt to clean up after them. You dont' have a broom and dustpan, you dont' have a little trash can...

Never!!!! Just imagine what their HOUSE looks like and the bathroom!! Yuk!!

The manager should have warned them that if they do that again, they'll be banned. Letting a**sholes get away with this stuff just enables them to the point where they feel entitled to do it.

To be fair, here in the US, I would have left my waiter a big tip and cleaned up after my kiddos. My kiddos don’t make messes like that because I used to be a waitress and they have heard my stories. We organize everything so whomever cleans up after us can easily and quickly clean it. We don’t go out to eat often.

This infuriates me how they can leave a mess like this for someone else to clean up. Would they do this is their own house?? What is it teaching their children?

I've done this before, but have Always left a HUGE tip (or at least double the bill dependant of level of mess)

At least ask for a broom to clean it up. The staff will probably say "It's OK, we'll handle it", but by asking, you have made it a little bit easier on the staff. Ignoring the mess means you assume they have nothing better to do. But I bet you still whined if the service was slow because some of the staff was out cleaning up earlier customers' mess...

Entitled parents. I'd bet they both are Karens

I had two small sons, they never made messes like this when we went out, not even close. The fault here lies with terrible parents.

Half these comments suck. I see two high chairs and what looks like four people ate at the booth. That's a small table for six. Especially with two kids sitting at the end, hell ya it's going to get messy. They're in a restaurant. They are paying for service. I hope at home they would happily clean it up. But part of going out to eat is because you don't want to deal with cleanup. Half these post expect the CUSTOMER to like grab a broom and like do those dishes or something. Its not like there's smeared sauce or anything all over. It's literally dropped French fries and a bunch of napkins. Quit crying about the extra work and just do your job.
