Seriously, I'd smack them...

I went out to lunch today with a friend.  She came and picked me up and treated me to lunch.  So sweet.  I have awesome friends.  Anyway, we're out at a local restaurant that she and her family go to quite often because her husband has done work for the owner's so they get a discount. 

As we were getting out of the car, she turns to me and says "Let's see if we actually get any attention" so I'm like "Why?"  Well, it seems like her husband gets a LOT of attention from the female staff.  A LOT.  While his wife is sitting with him.  While his children are sitting with him.  The waitresses come and sit WITH him, talk TO him and pretty much ignore my friend.  So at this point it's like, clearly, they must know who she is; they come here often.  But you know what?  

Not ONE female member of the staff acknowledged her!  Or me!  We got a male waiter who was BEYOND rude and gave us attitude when she went to pay with her gift card.  I have to admit, the whole thing seemed a little bizarre.  

You know, I am a friendly person.  I can relate more with guys than girls and always have.  BUT...and I mean a serious BUT...you better damn well be prepared to be slapped if you are being overtly attentive to my husband - especially when he is RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!  And if you really are THAT friendly - as I'm sure these waitresses believe themselves to be - make sure that you pay attention to the WIFE and the family. 

Otherwise you just look like a hoochie...
