How to Be hated by Restaurant Staff, Part 2

Use the restaurant as your personal bathroom/lounge.

I almost threw up on my own bar last night. This customer comes in, sits at the bar and orders his drinks (Fat Tire) and food (Quesadilla). In the time between being handed his beer and the arrival of his food, this man preened and picked himself so much that I had to walk away more than once. No, really - he cleaned out his ears with his pinkie fingers, blew his nose about a hundred times (and when that didn't work, he wrapped his finger in a tissue and stuck it up his nose!), cleaned the sleep from his eyes, examined his fingernails, hocked up some sort of loogie and picked his teeth. That was all super gross, but the kicker was this: he didn't wash his hands before eating his quesadilla. Seriously, did you completely miss health class in high school? Did your mommy forget to teach you any manners? What the hell! This is my bar, not your bathroom counter!

The same disgust and hatred applies to the following offenders:
Parents who change diapers in the restaurant
Parents who leave nasty wet wipes and kleenex on the table where we have to touch them
People who pass gas in my restaurant (audibly or olfactorily noticeable)
People who pick their noses
People who pick their noses and then eat it
People who leave spit out or chewed up food on the tables or plates
People who cut their nails in public
Women who brush their hair in the restaurant
People who do not wash their hands
People who fill their empty drink glasses with trash or old food

Just remember that when you're out to eat, you are in public view. Anything having to do with personal hygiene or grooming should be done in the restroom, after one has excused oneself from the table. I don't want to see that nastiness, and neither does anyone else :(

Happy Grooming
