‘Can't help you, I’m on a break': Servers takes a break to eat while ignoring customers entitled requests to 'stay on shift', leading to a dispute

More often than not, customers tend to completely forget that the servers who are standing in front of them are human beings too. While it is understandable to want to get a proper service for something that you are paying for, treating servers how you would want to be treated yourself is the least you can do. So for example, if you see that a server is taking their much-deserved break, maybe just leave them be.

Which is exactly what the customers in this Reddit story should have done, at least in my opinion. The original poster (OP) is a server who wrote to Reddit after they had customers complaining about them. The server took a break after bringing the food to the customers' table and set down to eat not far from them. A few minutes later, OP sees that the customers are talking to the manager, and later discovers that they complained about OP taking a break to eat. Personally, I thought that the customers were way out of line, but apparently, a lot of other Redditors agreed with their complaints.
