The great chewing gum incident....

Post by sunseeker »

So my family owns a small diner type restuarant in my hometown. It's not the fanciest of places, but my mom prides herself on having a clean restuarant and great food.

This incident really took place on Friday.

My mom and her crew had just finished up from a long lunch rush. My mom was taking a coffee break out at one of the front counters. In walked a very "redneck looking" couple. Nothing truly out of the ordinary though for my hometown. They picked a booth across from my mom to sit down at... As soon as the guy sat down, he popped a big wad of chewing gum out of his mouth and preceded to place it under the table. My mom was horrified....disgusted....so she almost in disbelief asked the guy "what did YOU JUST DO?" (My mom is very blunt and has no fear of confrontation). He looked at my mom and said "I'm saving it for later". Mom said "well I'd appreciate if you didn' t save it under my table, my waitresses have to clean that up". Again the guy insisted that he was going to take it back before he left. My mom insisted that he remove at that moment! So he did...he reached under the table and popped it back in his mouth. Then he and his female friend got up and left the restuarant.

My mom and her employees then watched as the guy stormed up and down the sidewalk....it looked as if he and his girlfriend were arguing. They noticed the girlfriend pointing to a trash can and the guy finally took the gum out of his mouth and threw it away.

Well, about ten minutes passed and suddenly the guy walked back inside. He approached my mom and said "I just have to say this - you have ruined my day. My girl is mad at me, I'm still hungry and THAT was my last piece of gum!"
There's this one particular harbor.....

My mom was horrified....disgusted....so she almost in disbelief asked the guy "what did YOU JUST DO?" (My mom is very blunt and has no fear of confrontation).

She almost asked him? or She was almost in disbelief?

I was so hoping for a "I'm sorry" happy ending. :( Oh well... good for your mom, and I'm glad she ruined his day!

my girls in the cafeteria cleaned all the gum from under the counter where the h.s. kids got their disposable trays for lunch...

put it in a bowl and set it out for all of them to see...

the girls just thought it was horribly disgusting, and would narc on those that stuck there gum under the counter, after that...

Kudos to your Ma...
