Eventful Day

To quote one of my favorite tv show hosts, "Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness." Pretty much describes the day I had today.  By the way, that's a quote from the Travel Channel's Man v Food's Adam.

I'd like your thoughts on something.  I found a napkin left on one of my tables.  On it was an e-mail address hand written sloppily in pen. Now I remember the customer well.  A lone business man probably 20 years my senior. He took his time scarfing down food at our pizza lunch buffet(he was there about 45 minutes.) I didn't have a lot of interaction with him, though...Anyways, on to where I'd like to know your thoughts.  Did he leave his e-mail address for me to e-mail him? I think thoughts like this, "Maybe he's married and didn't want me calling him, because he doesn't want the chance of his wife finding out." But those thoughts just make me feel sick with cheapness...as if just because I'm a waitress that guys think I'm for sale.  It's disgusting to think about.

Best moment of the day: An older couple insisted I was their waitress tonight, even after I told them I was no longer waitressing for the night.  It feels soooo good when you go to your manager and co-workers and tell them that a table requested you by name, so you're sticking around for a little while longer.  

Worst moment of the day: Absolute chaos! Fundraiser night, huge table, disorganized, running kids, stayed for a whole 2.5 hours! Took up my whole section! Made my other tables angry with their rudeness...Seriously, my one customer came to the register to pay, complained about this table's antics, saying that one of the girls was standing and talking and pushing her butt up and onto their table! How awful to have butt in your face while you're trying to eat.  Also, they were blocking up all the aisles for walking...I had to walk to the other side of the restaurant and back every time I went to my section.  It made me soooooo aaarrrgh angry! So, please, remember, when in a public restaurant keep all hands, feet, and butts contained to your own table. Thank you, and have a pleasant evening.
