She almost ruined a proposal.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

i was a server for a bit and worked on mother’s day. one customer was like this, just a nasty woman making everyone’s day awful and i just so happened to knock her pepsi all over her. her children looked both thrilled and terrified, but it was a win for me!

Mother's day is a special hell. I remember a woman walking past a line of like three dozen pickup customers and screaming at a 17 year old about how they ruined the most important day of her life because she didn't have time to wait for her togo order she called in that she wanted brought out to her car. It took 25 minutes instead of the 15 online told her, and she already had been given her food, she just had to come in and make sure everyone knew that she had the emotional regulation of a small child.

Valentines is like this too. I think there are a lot of people who only go out once or twice a year and do not know how to act in public lol. I feel bad for them being so improperly socialized, kinda like a mistrained dog.

As a mother with a mother, I refuse to engage in Mother's Day brunch for either of us. If we want brunch, we do it another day or make it at home. It's solely for the reason that I will lose my shit on another customer and their treatment of a service worker. I only worked at McDonald's in my youth for restaurant experience, but I understand how hard it is and how little they get paid (even with tips). I once watched a server get berated by a customer next to me even though I saw they were being kind and professional. When the customer left, I inserted myself and asked if they left a tip (they did not), so I gave the server what cash I had (I think ~$15 - there were two people eating at the table). Shits bad, there's no reason to take it out on someone trying to survive.
