Family dinner comes with a lot of strings attached.

‘She calls everyone «honey” and “sweetie,» and chit chats with patrons instead of just letting them eat’: Georgia-born waitress asks coworker why she doesn’t get as many tips, gets mad when he says New Jersey customers don’t appreciate her southern charm
There’s a huge difference between what constitutes respect in the Northern and Southern United States. When my family moved to Texas, we collectively went through a huge amount of culture shock regarding the term «ma’am.» I hated that I was expected to call every adult woman «ma’am,» and my mom hated that everyone around her …

Guy refuses to hang out with leech friends after footing the bill for countless dinners, prioritizes his ‘financial boundaries’ instead of their conditional friendship
We’ve all been in this guy’s position at one point in our lives. Your wide-eyed «friends» stare off into the distance when the restaurant bill is dropped off at the table. You wonder why you didn’t request separate checks at the beginning of the feast, and now, your wallet will take the hit as a …

Selfish girlfriend and friends stick boyfriend with $550 dinner bill despite having no prior discussion about who would pay: ‘I didn’t let the other guests leave before paying’
Splitting the bill can be an uncomfortable affair. There’s a Portlandia sketch where a group is out for a birthday dinner, and they call in a «Fixer» type that comes in and helps them settle the bill. Who got what entree, who was drinking, how much are we tipping? Bang, boom, there ya go. It’s …

Customer refuses to ‘pay forward’ the $42 coffee order from the car behind him after a kind stranger pays for his $4 coffee: ‘The cashier looked at me with total contempt’
I’m so glad I never worked in a drive-thru window because if I did, I would’ve floundered the second somebody wanted to pay for the person behind them. I don’t know how to pull up the credit card information of a customer who just left! What are you, nuts? Against all odds, drive-thru employees find …

25+ Gluten Free Memes for Celiac Cuties
Having a dietary restriction or an allergy is neither fun nor games. It’s serious biz, and people can be weirdly annoying about it especially when it comes to having a gluten allergy.
