Sightly amusing anicdotes
I have worked for a casual dining restaurant for 13 years now. Thought I'd share a few amusimg stories from when I was a server.
We have an entree that is cooked and served in a buttered parchment bag. I always offer to open the bag for the guest when I served it. This guest declined. I checked on them periodically, but I hadn't noticed until I went to remove their plates that the gentleman had eaten his bag too! I didn't want to embarrass him, so I didn't say anything, besides, everyone can use a little more fiber in their diet!
I had a party of five sitting in a corner booth that consisted of mom, grandma, and three small children. I had begun to take the orders down the row when I turned to face the youngest, who was second from the end. When I turned to talk to him (I always tried to address the kids too, not just parents) he was standing in the booth with a crayon hanging out of each nostril. I never saved crayons to be reused agian.
and lastly for today...
I had just finished waiting on a table of two couples who had been giving me a hard time (in a fun way) all night. When they had settled their bill, the man who was the ring leader told me to wait, he needed to give me my tip. He reached in his pocket and started to jingle some change when I told him "Sir, please don't give me anything out of your pants as a tip." His wife laughed so hard I thought she'd hyperventalate. Maybe it's because she KNOWS what he has in his pants?
