The scene is a Big Boy joint, with very few people in it.
The hostess just sat us, and I opened up my laptop to start my homework.
Waitress: Hi there
Me: Hello, good afternoon.
Waitress: Move your thing, I gotta set the silverware down.
Me: Actually I was going to use my laptop, I can just set the silverware on the other side
Waitress:Suit yourself. So....
Me: So..?
Waitress: SO....
Me: So..what?
Waitress: So what do you want to drink?
Me: We will have a water and a diet Pepsi, please.
Waitress: Okay, be back in a few
She walks off with an honest smile on her face.
I couldn't tell if she was intentionally being rude,
or just strange, or if I just had a poor perception of her manner.
Waitress: Ya done?
Me: Yes, I'll have the cajun bread bowl.
Waitress: No.
Me: I'm sorry, what? (politely)
Waitress: No, I said "no".
Me: No, to what exactly? (still polite)
Waitress: No, we are out of bread bowls, so "no" you can't have it.
Me: I see. Well I would not mind the club sandwich, although I don't care for cole slaw,
do you offer any substitutes or alternatives for an added price?
Waitress: But it comes with slaw.
Me: Yes, I understand that. I was just hoping I could have something else instead. I can pay the extra cost.
Waitress: No, that order it just comes with slaw.
Me: Okay then, I'll pass on the cole slaw,
Waitress: So......bread?
Me: Bread? Oh-I'll have wheat, please. And my friend will have the coconut shrimp dish, please.
Waitress: Yeah.
She then leaves our table, and calls out the order. With out a word,
she drops off the food. My dish has cole slaw spilled on it,
and my friend's dish is missing the dip for her sea food.
So, I smile and raise my hand to catch her attention
Me: Sorry to bother you, but-
Waitress: Now what is the problem? (with a friendly smile)
Me: My friend would like the dip that comes with her meal.
Waitress : Oh, yeah, alright.
Quickly she brought it back, and slapped our bill on
the table, along with the dipping sauce.
We hadn't even started eating our food.
She also never refilled our drinks nor did she bus/pre bus
our emptied plates and glasses. The weird part was, that she was smiling
and said everything in such a polite tone, I could only figure
that she didn't have common sense on polite communication.
I don't know, I just thought it was odd.
On another note, my new favorite saying is
"everything is just flowers and sausages over here"
Xtina and I heard some fat, punk kid on CMT yelling that at a conservative mom.
It was incredible.
