'Oh okay. Good luck with that, bud': Waiter calls out "we have somewhere to be in an hour" diners

Oh, you have to be at the airport in 90 minutes, but you have time for a sit-down meal at a restaurant? Tell me more. Tell me why you think that's a good choice. International flights can cause long lines to get through security---these notoriously take ages to get through. Oh, you're only 25 minutes from the airport? I'm sure there will be no traffic, red lights, or slow drivers to stop you from getting on your flight. Truly, if you decide to have a sit-down meal outside the airport when you have a flight leaving imminently, any resulting consequences are all on you. 

That won't stop this type of diner from blaming everyone else but themselves, though. U/WooWhit calls them the "we have somewhere to be in an hour" crowd, which is a great moniker. This kind of customer is well-intentioned---they just want to eat before their movie, show, or flight---but they're going to go about it in the most stressful way possible. They won't be able to relax and enjoy the conversation and food; they'll likely be glaring their waiter down the whole time. 

Commenters enjoyed the topic, with others mentioning the lunch rush crowd. One person had a woman come into their restaurant at lunch time, only to continually remind them that she was in a hurry due to her lunch break. That person, u/Riley_locket, replied "Everyone does as well." As another commenter pointed out, it's not a waiter's job to make sure you get to your destination on time… that's all on you. 

Next, read about these employees who got so very tired of their jobs that they quit on the spot, like one person whose manager "started yelling at me for using soap." Eeek!
