If you go out to a nice restaurant, it is important to keep your children on their best behavior.

What would you do if you were a server at a restaurant like this, but you noticed that many parents refused to properly watch their kids, allowing them to cause all sorts of trouble?

That is what the server in this story experienced, so he started offering misbehaving children a huge free dessert as a ‘reward.’ He knew that the parents would either say no to the dessert, causing their child to be upset on the way home, or they would say yes, causing the child to eat a lot of sugar and be wild at home.

This is a genius move. Either option leaves the bad parents dealing with their misbehaving child. Read through the full story below and see if you like how he handled it.

Server Revenge to Worthless Parents

I worked briefly as a server in fine dining during a time when I was between jobs.

Everyone has to gain experience somehow.

I had never had serving experience before, but my brother worked there and was well liked, and somehow he talked the manager into hiring me despite my lack of experience. Anyway, I digress.

So, something I despised during my time serving were the little hellions that would run around or scream in the restaurant.

Misbehaving kids do not belong at a restaurant.

If you think this is unacceptable in a casual restaurant, imagine how it is perceived in fine dining where our steaks ranged from $40-$100. So, I came up with my own revenge on the parents of these little devils.

We had a dessert called the chocolate volcano. It was basically a chocolate cake filled with fudge and a scoop of ice cream placed on top. As a server, I could comp these desserts using my discretion.

This is a clever server.

If the bill was big enough, my manager would okay this. If it wasn’t, I could put it on my dime. So, I would do exactly that. After collecting their dinner plates, I would go up to tiny Beelzebub and ask him if he wanted one on the house.

I’d give the parents a wink and tell them it was totally free. I’d make it out like I was doing them a favor so there was no way they could complain to my manager.

He is really putting the parents in a difficult spot.

Now this put the parents in a bad place. The typical diner was wrapping up their meals at 7:30/8:00 at night, and this chocolate volcano was loaded with sugar.

You knew it just looking at the thing. So, the parents had to choose their poison. Either be horrible, unfair parents in their child’s eyes, thus having to deal with a conniption fit in the car because he didn’t get his free treat, or give in but then have to deal with a kid so sugared up he wasn’t going to sleep for hours.

You’re welcome, jerks, now learn to discipline that little kid of yours.

This is just too funny, especially since most parents who let their kids misbehave at a restaurant won’t tell their kids no about the dessert. So, they will have to deal with the hyped up kid when they get home.

Being a server offers lots of opportunities to get revenge on bad parents.

He would be a superhero to these kids.

If parents let their kids ruin everyone’s evening, this server will return the favor. I love how he left the parents with no good options to choose from.

On top of that, the parents can’t really get upset because he was offering it to them for free.
