When my grandma went to preview a restaurant for her 50th wedding anniversary dinner, she just wanted to make sure everything would be perfect — especially the food. She was excited, sentimental, and full of love for her family. But that joy quickly turned into humiliation.

While adjusting her seat, she accidentally knocked a plate off the table. The waiter, instead of showing any understanding, lashed out at her — calling her an “old hag” and demanding she leave before the lunch rush. She offered to pay for the damage, but he laughed and threw her out.
