Today, during a meal out with my team and bosses, I wasn't drinking. The waiter complained, "If you're not ordering alcohol, how am I supposed to take advantage of you later?" I'm not sure what's worse, the rapey pre-dinner joke or the awkward silence as my colleagues looked on. FML

OP here. Thanks for the comments everyone, you'll be pleased to hear that today I did phone up the restaurant posing as 'a member of the girl's team' (which is technically true), as I didn't want to identify myself. I can take a bit of banter as much as the next person, and although I'm sure it was meant as a joke, it certainly crossed a line. I thought I'd say something to his manager in case he repeated his actions to someone less capable of standing up for themselves than me! You never know who he might try it with again... The (female) owner was horrified and said she was furious with the waiter, who had apparently worked there for 20 years. She'll be having a chat with him later on and offered me and 'the girl' (also me!) a free pizza each. I don't think I'll be taking them up on the offer! Oh, and my team were lovely about it- after the shocked silence they all agreed that he crossed a line and were very supportive :)

You should tell the manager. Thats not acceptable behavior from the waiter.

Seems like nobody has a sense of humor now a days.

For sexual assault/rape jokes? I know! We all should laugh and take it less seriously!

So true... What about threatening YOU to be raped by a guy when you can't defend yourself, like when you'd be too drunk or asleep. That'd be so funny, isn't it ?

If your sense of humor is built on rape jokes, you need a new sense of humor.

You people are ******* stupid. Of course he meant it as "you are getting drunk, you'll be more likely to tip" more than "a rape joke". People find the littlest things to get offended about and take the wrong way.

It's extremely possible he meant it towards the bill and tip. But that's still something you talk to the manager or owner about.

Not only YLS. Everybody's life sucks because of that kind of ugly and stupid "jokes". I just hate people like that. Deeply.

Culd have meant rape, could have meant tip. Who knows? Cuz i mean everyone knows that generally drunk people or even buzzed people are more likely to tip. Either way could and should have said it better or at least explained himself lal.

glad everything worked out in the end, some people need to learn that some things should just be left alone
