i like saying "no" in a professional manner

as a part-time waitress i often encounter demanding, entitled douches who insist on sucking the life out of me for the fair price of a 15% gratuity. sometimes 10%. rarely do i get the chance to stand up to these soul suckers and usually have to swallow my pride.
thus, you can imagine my delight when the opportunity arose the other day to politely decline a request.
a couple of super twats sat at one of my tables during the dinner rush and proceeded to order one 8 dollar dessert and two waters. fine. you're cheap and have a sweet tooth. whatever.
THEN, after the order was in, the dude asks me for bread and butter. really?
that's where the "no, sorry" came in. our amazingly delicious bread and french-style vermont butter is for people actually ordering food. who are you? eat your profiteroles and stop whining.
in honor of this moment i am celebrating with this superb music video by ariel pink:
