As Soon As His Wife Left The Table,Their Waitress Passed Him A Note

Jackie and her husband were experiencing a rough patch in their relationship after she gave birth to her third child. They decided to go for dinner with the whole family when their night went completely different than expected after their waitress did this.

Behind Her Back

Jackie left the table to go to the bathroom and when she came back she saw something that made her so angry. The waitress put something on their table that was unacceptable. She couldn’t believe what she saw.

The Tears Came

She wasn’t interested in creating a scene but at the same time, she couldn’t imagine just watching this without doing anything about it. Naturally, she insisted her husband let her see what their waitress gave him, and when he did there was no stopping her tears.

Motherhood

Being a mother is challenging but nothing was nearly as difficult as what Jackie Johnson-Smith experienced in the local pizza shop in Des Moines, Iowa that evening. She planned to have a relaxing evening with her family, but it was the opposite.

Stirring Up Drama

Their waitress saw this family sitting together and was even serving them. When Jackie went to the bathroom, she took this as her chance to slip her husband a note. Jackie couldn’t believe what she wrote and how brave she was to do this in front of his entire family.

Not Someone To Mess With

Jackie was a bold girl who even served in the U.S. Military. She wasn’t the sensitive type and you didn’t want to get on her bad side. Besides spending spend in the army, her main purpose in life was being the best mother she could be.

A War Hero

Jackie was one tough cookie. She rarely cried and she didn’t let most things bother her. However, that evening something happened that made Jackie feel more vulnerable than ever. Even her husband was surprised by how she acted to this.

Not So Glamorous

Jackie always made sure she looked presentable, despite feeling exhausted and dirty from watching her children. Her husband was naturally good looking, which would maybe cause problems down the line…

He Got A Lot Of Attention

Jackie was smitten with her husband and was aware that other women found him go looking as well. She didn’t want to let this irritate her but after seeing how the waitress was acting, she couldn’t help but be annoyed.

A Blind Eye

It was clear that their relationship wasn’t the same as it was in the beginning. After having three children, her physical and mental abilities were not in tip-top shape and she was exhausted.

Feeling Uncertain

She had moments of uncertainty in her relationship and hesitated before mentioning her insecurities. She typically would push these feelings away but that night she couldn’t help but burst after what happened.

Bringing The Family Out

Jackie and her husband Tom used to have date nights often. Unfortunately, with a newborn, it was difficult to fit this in. Regardless, they wanted to spend time together so they collected the whole family and went to their nearby pizza restaurant.

Life With A Newborn

Upon entering the restaurant, the new baby started a tantrum, so Jackie began breastfeeding. It was clear that that the rest of the customers were watching her, but what she didn’t see was the way her waitress was watching her husband.

Needed Support

Your life completely changes when you become a mother. For starters, everyone has something to say about what you do. Naturally, when a woman starts to take her clothes off in public, people around her are going to react. Jackie was the mother of three, meaning she breastfed three children and was used to this.

A Proud Momma

She wasn’t phased by the looks she got for breastfeeding. However, the way her waitress was looking at her husband was something she couldn’t ignore and she wasn’t going to sit back without saying something.

All Eyes On Them

After being stared at all the time, she wasn’t going to let the staring at her and her baby bother her. Even though she heard people whispering about her, she still managed to ignore this and continued with her feeding.

Feeling Uneasy

Jackie noticed their waitress watching her and it made her a bit uncomfortable. She assumed that she had never seen someone breastfeed before, but didn’t understand why she was so bothered by it. She could tell the waitress had something to say.

The Letter

When Jackie got up from the table her husband requested the bill. As soon as she left the table, the waitress went right over to the table to give Tom a note. This sounds fishy…but could it have possibly said?

A New Feeling

He opened the note and the look on his face gave it all away. However, he was unaware that Jackie was watching this whole exchange and at that point, she was sick to her stomach. However, this was just the beginning.

How Did He React?

Although she hadn’t read the note yet, she knew that something was up. She was sure her husband would throw it away but in reality, he took his phone from his pocket. Jackie was shocked and a million thoughts were going through her head.

Had He Fallen In Love?

She was sick to her stomach and just kept thinking that her husband was no longer in love with her and was sick of his family. She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing and she wasn’t quite sure what to do about it.

Her Jealousy Was Showing

Jackie was incredibly sad but that was soon replaced with anger as she watched their waitress make a move on her husband, in front of his family! She was thinking of the worst situation and she was curious to see what the note said.

Demanding Answers

The situation may have turned out differently if Tom threw the note right away. When he took out his phone all she could think was that he was saving her phone number. Jackie returned to the table and requested that he show her the note immediately.

Everything Was Suspicious

Jackie read the note and saw that the waitress offered her husband a special discount on their meal. She was confused about what was going on and was extremely uncomfortable that she was flirting with her husband with his family sitting right there.

The Center Of Problems

The waitress also spoke about Jackie breastfeeding in the middle of the restaurant. While she had problems like this before, she was unprepared for the moment where someone would attack her.

Getting Emotional

Jackie was completely overwhelmed and suddenly the tough military soldier couldn’t hold back her tears. Her mouth dropped when she read waitresses note, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

All of a sudden, Jackie couldn’t hold it back anymore and she burst into tears. Jackie couldn’t believe the note that she was reading. How could the waitress write something like this?

The Letter That Made Her Cry

By that point, Jackie was already crying and she sat back down at the table. She never saw this note coming but surprisingly it motivated her to do something she wouldn’t have normally done.

Her Note Went Viral

Jackie was so enraged that she needed to voice her concerns on social media. While public breastfeeding is a controversial topic, she was surprised at how Facebook users reacted to what happened with her and the waitress that evening.

The Note Itself

She began the post describing her experiences with breastfeeding. She said that she has breastfed in all kinds of places and received many reactions in the process, but that night everything changed for her.

When she noticed the restaurant’s negative reactions she went to the bathroom. When she returned she saw a note that left her speechless and distraught.

What Did The Note Say?

Bodi didn’t have her own experiences with this, but she was always upset when she would see others judging mothers who needed to breastfeed in public. The note on the bill read “I bought one of your pizzas… Please thank your wife for breastfeeding!!”
