Every Wednesday night our restaurant runs an all-you-can-eat rib special. Our chef’s idea of all-you-can-eat means using the largest plate possible and filling it with enough food to feed a family of four Americans or an entire village in Africa.

An older couple came in, each ordering an extra well done burger and fries. They were extremely pleasant and asked for advice on sights, shows, and dining. Since it was pretty slow I chatted with them until their food came. Then I brought them vinegar and mayo for their fries. Even though I knew they [...]

Three Indian men from England came in to eat this evening. They were all pretty drunk. Each of them requested separate checks – two of them paid with credit cards and the third handed me cash on his way out. Apparently, the man who paid in cash looked at the subtotal ($25) and handed me [...]

When the hostess finally leaves, I ask her what all the fuss was about before going to greet the table. Apparently, only one of the ladies is going to stay. The [...]

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I don’t mind the sight of raw beef – in fact I prefer it. The rarer a good steak is the better it tastes. One of the most challenging parts of my job is listening to hillbillies and Canadians order hamburgers, and even Kobe burgers, well done. [...]

Tonight when another server went to get a Canadian couple’s drink order the man asked for another minute to look over the menu. A few seconds later he got up, handed the server the menus, and said “We’re leaving. Your prices are fucking ridiculous. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

Two French men get sat in my section. One man only speaks enough english to request a pillow from me. No, he does not want to take a nap – apparently, our normal wood chairs were too hard for this guy. When I told him that we don’t have any pillows he said “do you [...]
