The Restaurant
It was a quick interview. She had come in The Restaurant twice looking for work, and she happened to catch me on her third try. I had her application and was going to put her off but I had a few minutes so I invited her to sit down. We chatted about the basics; her experience, etc. And the entire time we were speaking she twisted a lock of hair hanging by her collar bone. A nervous habit, I assumed. I said to her, "There is no need to be nervous. This is very informal." "Oh, I know. I am twisting my hair. I am sorry. I get nervous around people, and I do this. But this is a much better option than what got me fired from my last job as a server." I was afraid to ask. But I did. "You were fired, why?" "Well, I would get really nervous when I was serving people and I would chew my hair. So this twisting replaces that, I totally don't chew my hair anymore. I promise."

The Restaurant
*Insert appropriate Seinfeld Episode jokes and giggles here*
And he only wants to be poured half a cup of coffee. If you even go so much as a drip over half a cup, he will make you bring him a new cup. And he only wants his bread with his entree during dinner, and he only wants his clam chowder luke warm. So please put it in a bowl, walk away for a bit, and then bring it to his table. I am sure you are all thinking, "Why do you deal with this guy?" And believe me when I say I ask myself this 400 times a day because the coffee and the chowder thing are just the tip of the iceberg. But in the last two months he has come in ever single day. Yesterday was no exception. Except yesterday he must have grown tired of us opening a little later than normal due to the holiday because upon his arrival he bypassed everyone and sat at Table 7. He did not say hello, he did not wait to be seated, he just rushed right to his table. And the table had just been cleared of dirty dishes, but not wiped down and reset. So before he even sat down he snapped his fingers and said, "SOMEONE PLEASE COME AND CLEAN MY DOMAIN!".
