This is a re-post with some added thoughts. I'm tired today so it's totally half-assed. Sorry.I am moved to write because today some lady threw her baby into a mega-stroller and rolled it into my station. The baby looked like it was a few weeks old and I don't know why the fuck anyone would drag their weeks old baby to eat at my place, but she did. Actually I should say her nanny did. Mother just talked on the phone and took cell phone pictures of it. Maybe she was Grandmother. Bitch looked old. First thing: "Can you turn down the music? The baby is asleep." Whatever. Point of story is when they left. I went to clear the table and there was a tiny diaper rolled into a ball that was sitting with the dirty dishes and used napkins. Like I won't notice a fucking dirty diaper. So I have decided to make a list of things to not leave at your table:
- dirty fucking goddamn diapers
- snot rags
- babies or children of any age unless they are cool with becoming my cleaning lady.
- trash from other restaurants like a Starbucks cup
- hair pieces, wigs, falls, barrettes or pony-tail holders
- magazines that I don't want to read like Time or Ladies Home Journal. US Weekly or People is fine.
- crappy cell phones. The new iPhone is fine. Just don't come back looking for it.
- body odor
- junk mail or any other crap that came out of your bag that you cleaned out while waiting for your food
- your phone number (this applies to ugly people only)
- apple cores, banana peels or the shells of sunflower seeds
- used gum that you leave on the side of the plate so I have to scrape it off
- gum of any kind
- pennies
- newspapers
- false teeth, dentures, partials or a gold tooth that you will come back for the next day and then be all surprised that i don't know where the hell it is.
- your "to-go" food that I didn't want to wrap up but I did anyway even though it was like one fucking french fry

Used toothpicks!!!
The customer copy of a credit slip that they have torn into a million pieces
Do not use a tooth pick at the table, and if you must take the nasty wood with you!
Used coloring books, and while these things may not exactly be things patrons leave at the table, I used to get really tweaked when parents would let their kids play games at the table, and I was finding game pieces all through my section for the next week.
dido on the toothpick yuck!
action figures, finger splints, ugly sunglasses or shades that go over regular glasses, cheaters, cheap ugly jewelry, scarves, MINT WRAPPERS though better on the table than the typical floor.
I hate when people come in to eat for someones birthday or other special occasion and decide to decorate the table. If only I had a dollar for every wad of tissue paper or piece of freaking confetti I have had to pick up over the years
finger nail or toenail clippings!
oh and cloth hankerchiefs...i know a few old codgers still use those!

used birth control devices. Actually not used ones too.
bandaids or any sort of bandage, the wrapper from a kotex or worse -- an actual kotex.
evangelism materials AND shitty tips. Ever notice how the two so often go together?!
I once had a guy who left his tooth on the table and forgot to take it home with him. He called all day long and we told him when we cleaned at night we would keep an eye out for it. He decided to come in and stare down my table until they left so he could search for himself! Ew.
Hard candy and lollipops that they decided NOT to finish.
A used hypodermic needle. I had a regular lady who was diabetic who would shoot up her insulin and then leave the fucking thing on the table! It should be illegal!
Panties. Small plastic hearts post-bridal shower. Children's snack crackers and juice box cartons.
Discarded auras, plastic hip joints or turds. Sorry, I'm drunk.
Who leaves a diaper on the table? Seriously, some people are disgusting. Change your baby in the ladies room, and put the diaper in the bin, where it belongs, not on the table where people eat.
spit up food/spit up rag that smells like baby vomit and misc crap gross. Lolly pops, jolly ranchers a Penny glued to the table.
I actually found a used douche one time. Not at the table but in the restroom, which servers still had to clean at my old restaurant. What the hell?! Who is out at dinner and thinks, hmmm, I think it's time that I go freshen up. ?!?
Fancy sunglasses...as long as you don't come back looking for them.

Rhonda, you are on the WRONG blog, honey!
CREDIT CARDS!
Don't sign your slip and then leave your credit card in the book. I will try to catch you and return it. (True if you were cool, untrue if you were a dick, and completely untrue if I have a hidden shot to finish in the back.) However, when you come storming back later, eyeing the entire staff down like we all plotted to STEAL your card, well...Then It makes me wish that i had given my sweaty friend the hardworking busboy a buttcrack credit card "swipe" if you know what I mean.
Used, or even unused, condoms. I found out when I was working at a cinema and cleaning up the room before letting the next wave of customers in for the next showing Django. I don't know why you'd want to do it in a cinema, especially in an action movie like Django, but if you can't keep your hormones under control, at least take the f***ing thing with you! I was disgusted when I found that.
I just recently foound this blog, and it is so well-written and entertaining.
I have always tried to be really considerate of servers and to tip well. However, it is a routine of mine to clean out my purse while I am waiting for my food. I guess I figured the busboy comes around with a teah bin anyway, what's the harm of some receipts, empty eyedrop vials, etc.?
Now that I know, I'll cut it out.
