It’s not the waiter’s job to handle bums outside. Tell the manager next time and don’t punish the waiter for following his rules set by his boss.

So I'm having dinner this evening with wife (no pics) We are seated by the window. I notice an older couple leaving and being accosted by bum on bicycle asking them for money. I suggest to the waiter he go outside and make sure those old people are ok. He says he can't do anything, and the guy is there all the time. I tell him great, instead of leaving a tip, I'll give it to the bum. Was that wrong?


You sound like a Democrat. You see a problem and, instead of helping out yourself, you expect someone else to shoulder the burden.

I'm sure your wife was impressed with you chivalry and generosity and you got laid as soon as you got home.


I’m thinking his wife went back and had sex with the waiter, since her pussy cheapskate husband not only wouldn’t stand up to a bum, but cheated the waiter out of the $2 he was going to tip with.

OP makes a good point. Paying customers are being harassed by the bum. If a representative of the business asks him to leave, the bum would probably oblige. Instead, business just makes the customers deal with it.

Giving money to the bum is a bad idea. That just pays for his next fix. The waiter is probably not allowed to leave the restaurant when he has customers inside who may need something.

That's on management. Not the wait staff.

That waiter should have slipped outside, pointed you out to the bum, and told him you guys are known around there for your generous bum donations.

The restaurant needs to hire security. I was at a restaurant on Government Street and a bum came inside and was bugging people at their tables. The 95-pound waitress was trying to talk him into leaving but struggling. A black guy sitting at a table by himself who looked like he was waiting for a Tinder date who never showed got up and escorted him out. Prob gave him some money too.

Many years ago my wife and I were eating at Giamancos on Government Street. As we left the restaurant through the rear entrance to the parking lot a bum accosted us and got very aggressive. One of the waiters in the restaurant saw what was happening and intervened pushing the bum away and threatening him with the police. The waiter told us they had been having a problem with that particular bum for several days.

I waited tables when younger. I would have sympathized with your concern about the bum but left pubes in your food when you threaten my tip.

You should have handled it yourself. Or asked your wife's boyfriend.

You wanted your waiter to go outside and police public space (which he has no legal authority over). And then you get upset that he says no and want to take it out of his tip. You seem like an PUSSY.

Yeah you were absolutely wrong. He told you he couldn't do anything about it and you took it out on him? What an idiot.

Why no pics of the wife is she a fat pig?

Cause Karen wasn't really concerned about that couple he was concerned about him and his wife and when they had to leave being accosted by the same person. He was skeered....
