So my Dad decided to take me and my two sisters out for a meal at an Indian restaurant in Bristol, UK. The restaurant was not busy and the four of us were promptly seated and before long the waiter came over to take our order. My sisters and I started to order when the waiter shushed us and said ‘not so fast, let’s give this gentleman a chance to order, hmm?’ And then proceeded to take my Dad’s order first and then us sisters were allowed to then tell him what we wanted. I was very offended and oddly felt embarrassed that the waiter said that to us. All I could do was become immediately entranced with studying the ends of my hair.
Even when the waiter served our food he just was rude to us girls whilst giving my Dad the moniker ‘sir’ after everything he said to him. Even after the bill was settled the same guy just said ‘thank you sir’ to my Dad whilst pretending that my sisters and I did not exist even after we politely said ‘thank you’ to him. I was thoroughly disgusted.
