Can’t Spoon-Feed The Customers

I had a table once as a server that was a young mom, her mom, and the baby, who was probably between six and eight months old. After I brought them their food, they asked for an extra spoon. I went and grabbed one and brought it to them.

This restaurant had only soup spoons, none of your more typical tabletop teaspoons. After bringing them the spoon, the demeanor at the table changed when I’d check on them; they seemed deeply annoyed with me.

When they left, they stiffed me and left a note that read, “Small mouths need small spoons.”
