Separate Ways

Please, for the sake of our sanity, please do NOT breakup with your significant (or not so significant at this point) other in a restaurant.

I know you think this is the best way to have a civil conversation without yelling, throwing of things, and slamming of doors since you're out in public but keep in mind that while you're breaking it off, we, the waiters are still committed to serving you till the end of our 30min to 1 hour relationship, no matter how uncomfortable and uninvolved we are. It's in our job description to keep a smile and ask for total payment so...

So, if there is no other way, do it but don't look at us like we're being insensitive when we drop the bill off and wait for you to pay while the other person in your party is stealing the napkins off neighboring tables to cry into them. YOU made this decision, not us.

And for those of you who are particularly rude and fail to understand how the situation is surprisingly more awkward for us, I will come by and suggest that you stay for dessert and ask ever so politely, "Is the check together...or separate?"
