<h2>Waiting tables is stressful enough without watching a tipsy couple start a fight and split their assets over the guacamole...</h2><p>So, when a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3jgkgw/waiterswaitresses_what_is_the_most_awkward_date/" target="_blank">Reddit</a> user asked, &quot;Waiters/Waitresses, what is the most awkward date you&#39;ve witnessed at work?&quot; people who work in the service industry were ready to share the most uncomfortable romantic moments they overheard on the clock.</p><h2>1.</h2><blockquote> <p>Couple walks in in jeans, ratty t-shirts. Guy pulls my coworker aside, says he wants to propose. They spend 80% of the meal on their phones barely saying a word to each other. They get like huge meals - we&#39;re talking Ultimate Feast stuff your face this isn&#39;t sexy at all foods.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>They don&#39;t order dessert, so my coworker had to bring out the ring on a free drink that we gave them on the house. Coworker sat it down. Girl didn&#39;t notice, too busy playing games on the phone. There&#39;s about 10 of us crowded in the exit from the kitchen watching to see what happens.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>One minute passes...two minutes passes. Finally he must have cleared his throat or something and she looks up. Seems to not notice the ring. He, I guess, asks her to marry him. She just kinda says yes. No excitement. They continue playing on their phones for most of the remainder of the meal. - <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/berlin-calling/">berlin-calling</a></p> </blockquote><h2>2.</h2><blockquote> <p>I once witnessed a blind date when I worked at a French restaurant that started like this:</p> <p>Man: /already seated</p> <p>Woman: /arrives, takes a seat</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Me: /introduces self, asks what they would like</p> <p>Man: let&#39;s start with a carafe of red, <em>avec</em> bread. ::he turns to the woman:: that means <em>with</em> bread.</p> <p>Woman kinda gave this look like, &quot;Oh.

I stopped for minute, and almost told the guy to rethink his proposal environment, but ate my words and kindly went a long with it.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>I go to the back, and dress that dessert up so much it looked like it came out of TGIFridays. Delivered the dessert to the people I thought were just out on a family dinner but were actually out on a date with someones kid tagging along.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Put the plate on the table, smiled, and ran away cringing.

Go to pick up the credit card slip, the guy leaves a note saying &quot;She said yes thank you&quot; and leaves me a 100% tip. I was pretty shocked, but happy for the dude. I really just hope the restaurant had some kind of sentimental value to them, then I&#39;d understand. - <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/dazedfinch/">dazedfinch</a></p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>6.</h2><blockquote> <p>Dude was sitting there with this sheepish look on his face as his date sat there in a revealing dress and half a nip slip going on.

Kept asking us girls if she looked ok, nervously talking to us, looking around expectantly. A half hour passes, an hour passes.... And you just see her deflate. She was stood up on her date and it was just heartbreaking. My friend begged our manager to cut him so he could to sit and have dinner with her, but it was busy so they couldn&#39;t do that. They did comp her bill and gave her some cheesecake for free, and when she left she was still just as sweet, but I don&#39;t know if I&#39;ve ever seen someone look so dejected.

Also I&#39;ve seen a lot of dates turn really awkward really fast because of someone drinking too much.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>I once had a guy who came in already completely shit faced. He stood up to greet his date, tripped over a bar stool, and face planted. What made it worse was that he just laid on the floor without moving or saying anything until she left.

16 waiters share what went down on the most awkward date they ever served.

Waiting tables is stressful enough without watching a tipsy couple start a fight and split their assets over the guacamole...So, when a Reddit user asked, &quot;Waiters/Waitresses, what is the most awkward date you&#39;ve witnessed at work?&quot; people who work in the service industry were ready to share the most uncomfortable romantic moments they overheard on the clock.1. Couple walks in in jeans, ratty t-shirts. Guy pulls my coworker aside, says he wants to propose. They spend 80% of the meal on their phones barely saying a word to each other. They get like huge meals - we&#39;re talking Ultimate Feast stuff your face this isn&#39;t sexy at all foods.  They don&#39;t order dessert, so my coworker had to bring out the ring on a free drink that we gave them on the house. Coworker sat it down. Girl didn&#39;t notice, too busy playing games on the phone. There&#39;s about 10 of us crowded in the exit from the kitchen watching to see what happens.  One minute passes...two minutes passes. Finally he must have cleared his throat or something and she looks up. Seems to not notice the ring. He, I guess, asks her to marry him. She just kinda says yes. No excitement. They continue playing on their phones for most of the remainder of the meal. - berlin-calling 2.

They had picked up their checks that morning and mentioned to another team member that they were getting their marriage license that day, but had not made any other arrangements yet.  That third team member informed them that she was ordained as something or other and could officiate for them. They decided to go cash checks and come back to do the deal in the lobby...No, it did not last. - roundearther 4.
