This woman is the bar manager in charge of bookings and she’s so tired of having the same arguments with customers who think they can sit anywhere they like. When she really was at her wits end with unruly patrons in walked Emma. Emma quickly inspired her to scrape deep for the energy to demand the respect she deserves!
She Had a Lot on Her Plate
Tina’s role was to ensure that groups had their reserved areas ready, provide excellent table service, or allow them to order directly from the bar.
Annoying Customer Habit
However, there was a persistent issue that tested Tina’s patience time and time again.
It seemed that no matter how perfectly she arranged the tables, people would always occupy the reserved spaces before the designated group arrived.
So Not Funny!
These individuals, believing themselves to be comedians, would often retort with snarky remarks when asked to move.
Tina had faced this scenario countless times, and it never failed to drain her energy.
She Politely Informed the Men to Move Along
On our fateful day, as Tina approached one such occupied table, she mustered up the last bit of patience she had left. “Sorry guys, but this table is reserved. The booking will be here in 5 minutes,” she politely informed the two individuals sitting there.
“We’re Part of the Booking”
Anticipating a cooperative response, Tina was greeted with smug grins and snide remarks, “We’re part of the booking.”
She Didn’t Have the Energy
Discouraged by the encounter and their refusal to budge, even after asking multiple times, she decided to leave them be, unable to summon the energy to argue further.
In Walks The Server Savior
However, the course of events took an unexpected turn when Tina’s eagerly anticipated booking arrived.
To her surprise, a delightful older lady had reserved the large table for a special night out with her girlfriends.
Calling Security to Teach Them a Lesson
Introducing herself, Tina informed the lady, Emma, about the two men who had stubbornly refused to vacate her table. In an attempt to fix the situation. Tina suggested calling security to teach them a lesson.
“I’ll Handle It”
But Emma, radiating a sense of confidence and determination, dismissed the idea.
“No honey, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry,” she reassured Tina with a knowing smile.
She Confronted Them
Intrigued and filled with a mix of anticipation and admiration, Tina watched as Emma approached the table, ready to confront the troublemakers.
Her Power and Disdain Were Incredible
With an air of authority, Emma faced the two men, her voice carrying both power and disdain. The ensuing conversation was nothing short of remarkable:
Emma’s Here
Tina: “Hi guys, my booking is here. This is Emma. She’s here.”
They Tried to Push Their Luck
Guys: “Hi Emma, thanks for inviting us to the get-together! You’re a bit late. Weren’t you supposed to be here for 5?”
(Little did they know that Tina had intentionally set an earlier time on the sign to allow herself ample preparation time. The actual booking was for 5:15.)
What a Dressing Down!
Emma: “I literally have never seen either of you in my entire life. My waitress had already instructed you to vacate the table, and yet you stubbornly remained seated.
Now that I’m here, kindly get the hell off my reserved table and show some respect. You’re not funny; you’re just a pair of smart-[mouth] middle-aged losers in trash suits.”
All Hail Queen Emma!
The impact of Emma’s words reverberated through the bar, leaving Tina awestruck.
Emma’s unwavering determination and eloquence at that moment transformed her into a true queen: Queen Emma.
She Was a Retired Server
After the confrontation, Queen Emma shared with Tina that she had been a server herself in her younger days and couldn’t stand people who displayed such disrespectful behavior.
Tina couldn’t help but feel that Queen Emma’s actions deserved a VIP spot in heaven.
The Patron Saint of Servers
Redditors loved this story – many of them had been servers and knew that a customer like Queen Emma was like gold dust!
One user wittily said, “Her Majesty’s Queen Emma, the Patron Saint of Servers.”
Get That Woman a Drink
Another Redditor commented, “I hope you comped her a drink for that one! I hope they slunk off with their tails between their legs.”
Inspiring
The tale of Queen Emma serves as a timeless reminder to all of us.
It teaches us to draw inspiration from those who possess the courage to confront trouble and stand up for what is right.
Demand Respect
Despite the frustration she felt, Queen Emma’s approach to the situation was firm yet composed.
By emphasizing the need for respect, she fixed the immediate problem and left a lasting impression on Tina and, hopefully, on the two men.
