everyone should wait tables - just once.
so, tonight, i am at work.
and since i am a "closer", i get the last of the people who dwindle in
(who in their right mind eats a full dinner at 10:45p ???!!! well, actually, a lot of people.)
so, back to the story . . .
my next-to-last table is this very attractive black couple. she is very outgoing and he is very stoic.
she looks incredibly like my son ben's ex-girlfriend, sade, except her hair is a bit longer.
like, she looks so much like sade i cannot believe it.
so, back to the story . . .
i tell her that she looks like my son's girlfriend (i did not go into the whole "ex" thing) sade.
turns out she has a younger sister named sade. blah.blah.blah.
i turn to the gentlemen to take his order and, i swear (!) this guy looks like he just came from a funeral.
after he tells me his order, we have this conversation:
me: "have you had a tough day ?"
he: "no, it was okay."
me: (sort of to the girlfriend) "man, he is so serious."
so, they eat and everything is dandy and it is time to pay.
they hand me the little check holder thing
(side note: why is it called a "check" ??? it's a flippin' BILL !!)
so, back to the story . . .
me: "i will be right back with your change."
he: "that's okay - keep the change."
me: "thanks so much."
me: "i hope you have a better day tomorrow."
he: "you do not know anything about me and why would you even assume i had a bad day
or need to have a better one ?? (here's the kicker) "get the f**k away from me."
well, alrighty then.
