Hiiiiiii! Hiiiiiiii! Hiiiiii!

"Hiiiiii! Hiiii! Hiiiiiiiiiiii!" cries this little boy from across the room relentlessly until I respond. Oh, my goodness was he loud! And relentless....he would yell "Hi." For as long as it took to get my attention every time I was in the dining room. All I gotta say is thank God that most men mature out of that...can you imagine if they didn't? Haha, it's an entertaining thought.

Now, most have heard of the rule of most restaurants, "No Shoes, No shirts, No service." But is that rule only applicable until you've sat at your table? This older gentleman seemed to think that it was perfectly okay to take his shoes off once he was sat at the table...I'm not so certain that is true.  But then again, I had already served their pizza so maybe he thought that he had worn his shoes for as long as he needed to in order to get service...He held up his end of the deal, and I did mine; however, I'm still not certain my mom would approve of lounging in socks in a restaurant. What do you think?

Oops moment: I forgot to enter in a pizza order today.  I knew the order in my head, got them their appetizer, but never put the order in the computer system. Oops, my bad! 25 minute wait for a pizza that should take 10? Not terrible....right?

Oh, and what are the chances that two tables of two walk into the restaurant at the same time, order two sodas, and order nothing but exactly the same "meat lovers" pizza...and then I take a carryout order for yet another a "meat lovers" pizza...all within 5 minutes of each other? The probability of that circumstance and the actuality of it happening today was kind of ridiculous....

Also, I'd like to take a moment to say that not all teenagers are predictable...I had a table of 8 young teens today, and when one gets a table of teenagers you expect these things: 1. Everyone to order waters 2. Loud and obnoxious conversation 3. No tip But, I really do applaud this group of teenagers, because though 6 of 8 did order waters and were somewhat loud, they actually tipped me an almost 20%. I was very grateful and glad to say that not all teenagers are irresponsible, but some actually embrace the idea of responsibility...It was refreshing to see!

That's all for today...thanks for reading my blog! And, please, consider actually joining blogger and following my blog. It's free, and maybe you can start your own blog that I can read as well! Thanks a billion. Kate Lynn
