To be uncomfortable as an bit role in customers' sex games?

[Sheenscrot]

I work in a Nice gastropub.

Last night a couple came in for a booked table. The booking notes had asked for sit on the edge of the main section of the restaurant. This isn't uncommon as we have live music on a Friday and it's a good viewing spot. It's a lively pub and busy restaurant.

They were in my section and I welcomed them, got chatting and they told me they we out to celebrate their 4 month anniversary. Champagne was ordered. A pleasant, attractive young couple having a lovely night out.

Then the mood changed a bit; the woman went to the loo and the man played with his phone while she did do.

When she came back he moved his phone to his lap and started to mess with it surreptitiously under the table.

It was so freaking obvious what was going on; her face became animated and she started squirming.

I went back to clear their starter dish and offered more drinks, just doing my job, but they were obviously observing me to see if I noticed.

I went down the civil professional and verging on brusque approach to them fro that point and tried to speed them through the meal to get them off the table quickly.

All the other servers that night were a level students and I wasn't going to expose them to that so I took full ownership of the table.

Grim fuckers Do some people have no shame?

I’d have thrown them out. And made her wipe her seat before she left! I hope you’ve banned them.

Absolutely grim. Ugh, awful weirdos.

I must be quite naive. I thought she’d gone to the toilet to remove her knickers and he was taking photos under the table. A vibrator controlled by a phone would never have occurred to me. Didn’t know there was such a thing 🙈

for the naysayers it’s pretty obvious when a woman is being stimulated towards climax. It’s hardly a subtle change in facial expression for FFS

OP had an absolute right not to be forced into the proximity of that

And yanbu in being disgusted by their behaviour. I’d have asked the manager to kick them out and ban them

Same….every day is a school day 🤦‍♀️

Next time pretend you misheard the anniversary part and assemble all the staff to loudly sing "happy birthday" round their table.

Nasty fuckers

Clearly I too am a dinosaur as I had no idea that this was a thing.

That said, didn’t someone use something like this to cheat at the chess world championships.

Degenerates shouldn't be out in public

I've been coming on to this site for over two years and have been astounded at some of the things I didn't know about but do now. This being another eye opener.

🤮🤢

I really am old and naive.

Eughhhhh. That is just rude, as well as - well, disrespectful to everyone around them.

I hope you had some nice customers who treated you with respect that evening, to make up for those low life ones, @Sheenscrot

What? Did they wank off their opponent to distract them? 😂
Check Maaaaaate

Another one here that had no idea this was a thing. Thanks again Mumsnet!

Not a troll. Been here 19 years.

You need to think a bit deeper as to why someone would name change to preserve anonymity regarding a tale on the Internet.

I told my manager who has briefed his staff today re protocols to be used in any similar circumstances.

I don't want my regular name known by colleagues in case these 2 worlds collide.

HTH

No I didn't get the manager to throw them out. I wanted discretion. It's a nice place, generally no trouble. I just hurried them up and ushered them out in a far more expedient manner than I would normally offer guests.

They didn't tip.

Oh and the phone issue?

Yesi could have been clearer.

He was drawing patterns on the screen, it was fucking obvious he was controlling a vibrator.

And her animation? Yes her sex face. I was being coy in the OP. 🙄

You didn’t tell the manager at the time that this was going on?

Because this is Mumsnet.

😮

I'm really hoping that another customer said to you "I'll have what she's having" in the spirit of When Harry Met Sally! 🤣

Had no idea this was a thing. I feel a million years old. And gross! Sorry that you had to deal with that at work.

Imagine if Michelangelo had included a picture of a tiramisu in the Sistine Chapel, I can see it now, balanced on Gods finger as he offers it to Adam….

I knew about this remote-vibe thing because of the film with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, The Ugly Truth, where the same thing happens. But I had no idea what a queening chair is, and I learnt that this week from Mumsnet!
