That's why restaurants are having a hard time hiring. No one wants to work in a restaurant and have to deal with rude, entitled customers.

[lance]

Lots of people have lost their minds over the last 1.5 years. Add rampant entitlement into the mix, and those restaurant workers are in for a real treat.

In Vegas they don’t ask anyone if they’re vaccinated.

[johndoe]

Whether you are for wearing a mask or not, respect the rules and wishes of the other people in there. If you can't behave like an adult, stay home

[Cerulean]

Rude, disrespectful, and entitled customers- how typical. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[savannahm.laurentian]

You'd think after all the closures, people would be grateful to restauranteurs and essential worker staff.

Manners and self control are hard to come by lately. That's a result of de-socialization and too much screen time. Slowly, with more interaction with others, humans will become socialized again.

[yusefkhan]

Restaurants need to learn how to say no.

[darrellsadler]

It's gonna be a BLACK TUESDAY, FOLKS! GET READY.

[donnaviestenz]

Just like caged animals being let out!!!

[reneel]

I would hang a sign that said treat my workers well or

[patmcbride]

I was going to criticize the worry, then I remembered how people in Russia went crazy after the USSR collapsed and they got more freedom.

[surfallday]

Avoid restaurants that ask for V-passport

[Mmdmade]

That’s why I pick up my food and say bye!

[pamelamays]

Self entitled folks are gonna act a fool! Unfortunately, frustrated folks are going to take it all out on those in the service industry.

[lisalee]

I really WISH Servers would wear gloves when bringing drinks and plates of food. 😁👍

[martyharless]

Pick an arbitrary date and then have it set in stone no matter what the science tells you. That tells me they're not following the science.

[artie]

Don't open then. Either that or deal with them like any other bad customer. Quit complaining.

[rssand]

People were bad before the pandemic and are already acting crazy and stupid. Hope some of the hygiene habits stick around longer.

How does someone behave badly in Frisco, where every sexual perversion is indulged as a sacred right and where human 💩 on city hall lawn and plants and where filth is ignored. Yet someone is Behaving Badly 😂
