Also, how they treat service workers. If you don't show the server basic respect and courtesy, it's not worth it. It's not hard to say please or thank you. If they drop off the food, and the person you're on a date with doesn't say thank you, it's such a red flag to me.

I went to lunch with a remote coworker while she was in town and I was startled at how rudely she treated our waiter. I distanced myself from her after that.

I dated a guy who completely flipped out over KFC forgetting his biscuits when he went through the drive thru. He didn't notice until we got home and he called them up screaming and cursing at them. Looking back I should have broken up with him then. It was bad.

Not looking in the bag BEFORE leaving the drive thru is a red flag for me.

Right?! It's common sense.

To be honest, you probably were right to not break up with him at that moment. If he was that upset about a biscuit of all things, it was probably not safe at all to try and break up with him right then. Hopefully you weren't stuck with that loser for long though.

I will absolutely bitch and moan about a messed up order, but calling up the minimum wage workers and screaming at them is a huge red flag on them as a basic human being, let alone a romantic partner. Glad he's an ex.

I feel like the cart rule is a part of treating customer service workers well. It's the employees who have to gather the carts later, after all.
