Today, I went out to dinner for my mom's birthday. I'd planned for a nice restaurant which is always packed, so I'd called for a reservation. When we got there, the hostess tried to turn us down because no one ever takes their mother out to dinner anymore, and that I was a fraud. FML

OP here. We eventually got into the restaurant with our original reservations, after contacting management. My mother and I tried to not let the hostess spoil the night. The rest of the staff was wonderful and I don't think we'll be seeing much more of that hostess for a long time.

I'm guessing "tried" means you got in eventually? Follow up!

I guess she's just itching to get fired.

That's awfully rude. I bet they never take their mother out. I hope she had a good birthday!

If that place is always packed out then the food must be amazing because the service sounds like crap!

That is absolutely ridiculous. I hope you told her manager.

And this is when you speak to the manager.

In other words, she gave your table away to someone who greased her palm. I hope you complained to her manager.

Hope you managed to get in! I wonder if she realised how silly she sounded?

Since when do you have to explain what you're doing there instead of simply giving your name and number of people?

Exactly... For all she knows, it could have been your attractive, older, lesbian lover... Either way, it's none of her business.
