At the party I worked last night, a girl I went to high school with sat at one of my tables, and I put her name on my notepad. We all write a description of a specific person at our tables- usually the most memorable person- so we know where we started with the orders. But since I knew this girl’s name, I figured I’d just put that down. BUT I forgot I always kneel down next to the person whose order I’m taking and let them see my notepad, that way they know I’m writing down the correct thing. So I did that automatically without thinking, and this girl looked over, saw her name on the paper, then looked at me like, “Who the fuck are YOU?” She continued to stare at me for the rest of the night. She never did figure out who I am.
She also drank her weight in alcohol. I spent a quarter of the night clearing empty number 4s from in front of her. I dedicated a tray to her and it was completely full at the end of the party.
