Thanks for the kind words you two. But unfortunately, these people aren't our friends at all...they're just customers at the restaurant my parents own. But because they're considered "regulars" they strike up conversations and act all friendly just because they come in quite often. The prick and his wife came in quite a lot and they were already chatting with my sister whenever she has free time. But it's only when he saw her playing her DS that one day last year that he became even more chatty and decided that my sister was his "gaming buddy." And it's this reason why we, apparently, can't be rude to these customers and demand our stuff back because, apparently, that would be bad for our business; because, if we do that, they'll find us rude (ironic isn't it?) and start spreading rumors around how we are rude and ungrateful since they're giving us business by coming to the restaurant and paying to eat our food. So, in the end, we don't win...which is why I am even more infuriated by this situation. I mean, I don't understand what's wrong with these people...they know perfectly well that they're just our customers and we're just providing a service but yet, they try to act all friendly just to do annoying things like this! And in the end, we lose! It really makes me angry.
