(no subject)
I had to work tonight. I met a really awesome co-worker named Jeorge. He's half..well 3/4th crazy but he was fun to "play" with during my shift. He totally cheated at hangman-bitch.
So the restaurant closed at 11pm and I locked the doors. Minutes later, another host alerted me that a man appeared leaning upside the elevator shaft thingy right outside our front door staring inside the restaurant. I went out of site for more than half an hour before cam back downstairs to learn creepy man was still there. The other host being a pre-closer left and called like twenty minutes later and asked if the man was still there-he was. He suggested I alert the manager.
Well many many more minutes pass and some guest come downstairs and I let them out. While the door was open I ask this man "Are you waiting on someone?" He looks in my direction-says nothing. After every guest comes down I make sure the door latches and relocks. A couple other employees ask from time to time if he is still there to which I replied he was.
Many more minutes pass, much time after closing, he is still there so I go upstairs and ask around to see if anyone has a clue. I ask one girl who takes a look down and again suggest I alert a manager. Then I ask another server who asks what he looks like to which I reply "Eh, kinda plain really ugly sweater snaked eyed evil looking." To which he replied "Thats my husband".
I desperately looked for some type of sweetner to make the consumption of my foot somewhat tolerable. I go back downstairs and hang out at the host stand waiting for the last guest to leave when my manager appears. She asks a couple of unrelated questions then starts the question "You do know that is.." To which I reply "I know now. He was just freaking me out." She didnt make a big deal, in fact let it go at that then goes outside and offers him a seat inside while he waits. Then they talk. I hear my manager say "Yes, see he is not allowed to let anyone in after closing." They chitty chat for longer before she comes back in. I wait a few then go outside to greet him.
"I apologize for that sir, I didnt know who you were."
"I am horribly offended. You made fun of me for twenty minutes"
"Sir, I didn't make fun of you. I was concerned for who you were."
"I could be anybody..."
I cut in "Exactly sir. New Years Eve. Los Angeles. Outside of a restaurant thats been closed for nearly an hour. Exactly. You could be anybody."
More conversation emerges ends on a more pleasant note. After the last guest left I clocked out and headed out, he was still there.
"What your name?"
A pause, "Terry"
"I'm Jason. Happy New Years Terry" I shake his hand and head for my car.
And that was my new years summary...yay.
