Would this have bugged you?

So I am out to dinner with my mom and my DS.  This waitress comes over to get our order and said welcome back.  We had been to this restaurant before, but weren't by any means regulars.  So anywho, she said to my mom, "so the little boy is so cute, do you guys just babysit him alot or what? My mom replied "Uh no, he is my grandson and that's my daughter." WTF.  I am only 38 , not 60 ya know.  I didn't even know how to respond.  I asked my mom if I was looking especially old that day or what.  I can't believe people sometimes.

    Must be clueless people day today. Yes, it would have bothered me. I also wouldn't have left a tip.

    This. I am cranky lately, and that would have pissed me off. A lot.

    Yes, that would have bothered me.  I would have probably been a little bit rude back. 

    I am 38 also.

    Same here.

    And no tip from me either if I heard that.

    Um, clearly a reason she's not a rocket scientist.  She could simply not see a family resemblance though and perhaps that is why she phrased it that way.   Still not something to be uttered though.  What a moron.

    Wow.......   Being 42 and if this would have happened to me I would have been shocked as well.    She obviously was a few bricks short of a load especially if she welcomed you back after never meeting you before LOL.    I hope it doesn't bother you too much.

    Yeah, that would have bothered me a lot, but I'm sensitive. When I was still working at the restaurant/bar before T was born a bunch of drunk college kids were being super loud at the bar and I was getting annoyed because I had all these modifications to an order to make sure I got right (you know, one of those I want this, but with this, and none of that but extra this, and every other server gets it wrong so I hope you can get it right types) - I toss look at them without even thinking and the queen bee goes, "oh please, at least we aren't old like you!"

    Ughhhhhhhhhhhh

    I don't not leave tips unless the service sucks and they know why (mentioned somewhere in the conversation or I've spoken to a manager). Otherwise it's a moot point. They'll just think you were an old meanie.

    I'm 37 and live in the South.  I get questions quite often that definitely refer to my age.  It is super annoying.  

    Whoops!  Sorry I decided to get my MBA, start a successful career, live overseas in two foreign countries and travel the world before popping out a kid!  My bad!
