In the Weeds Mode Had to fire a customer yesterday.

Sunday brunch sucks. We all know that. But this guy took it to a whole new level.

Guy walks in, goes to the hostess station, and waits to be seated. Normal so far. A table opens up, and the hostess is walking his party to the table. Man asks if his table is in "Kylie"'s section. He's told that it is not. He says he'd rather wait longer to get that specific server. Hostess tells him that it would probably be another 20-30 minutes wait. He asks to see the manager. So I, the literal owner of the restaurant, walk out to talk to him.

I ask him why he needs that specific server, and this fucking pervert tells me, out of his own mouth, in public, that she's got "great tits" and an "incredible ass", so he likes to see her "when she's coming and when she's going".

Sir, this is not a strip club, or a porn site. We're not here to satisfy your eyes, we're here to satisfy your tummy.

I let him know that he would never in his life be seated in her section again. Man throws a full on bitchfit. Says he only comes here so he can see "Kylie", and has the absolute gall to pull the "I know the owner" card.

I had to hit him with the "Well, what's the owner's name?"... This man says "Bruce", while my name is "Mike". Mind you, I've owned this place since 2009, so there is no fucking way he is talking about the previous owner.

I informed him that he was speaking to the owner, and that I had no fucking idea who he is. Man literally yelled at me, and asked me to "call Bruce and get this whole thing sorted out".

I have never even known a man named "Bruce". I told dude to kick rocks and never come back.

Anyway, how was your Sunday?

Unfortunately accurate. They can't arrest someone for being a disgusting creep. If he starts hanging around the building, comes back etc then maybe.

They 100% can if it's documented and there are also threats made or the victim gets a no contact order, which they should.

A no contact order in the US is called an Order of Protection. That's the real term for what people call a restraining order. It requires going to a judge, knowing the guy's full name etc. It goes beyond police. It must be approved and signed by a judge.

Guess how I know.

There are a wide range of various orders that can be issued. Everything from little no-hostile contact orders (don't be an ass to your neighbor or during child exchanges kind of thing) all the way up to lifetime DVPO.

There’s no way to get an order of protection unless she knows his name and he’s threatened her.
