“What color are these tablecloths?”
Um, beige?
“No, the actual color. You know, like “Sandy Pebble” or some other real name of a color. I need to tell my sister’s decorator the color so she can get her carpet in this exact shade. It’s just what she’s been looking for!”
Well, um….
“Maybe you could ask someone who would know, okay?”
The busser says it’s Sandy Beige.

Interrupting: “Is it or isn’t it? You can’t answer that? Come on! It’s a pretty simple question.”

To her friend: “She can’t even answer!”
Friend, slowly and gesturing: “What she’s asking is…how…much…is…on…the…plate?”
Exactly 32 pieces of torn lettuce, give or take a garnish.

“We biked, then ran the entire island.”

Her: “If you wanted to have sex in a hot tub, where would you do it in this town?”
I, uh, um….what????
Him: “I told you she wouldn’t know!”

“Hey! Hey You!”
Did you just shout at me from across the dining room?
Louder, waving: “Hey! We’re here for dinner! Now!”
Oh, whew, that’s a relief! I thought you were my manager yelling at me!
“Excuse me, what is your name?”
RG. Short for Restaurant Gal. It’s great to be back!

I am “back” in a job where I have to talk to rude “I think I’m ohhh so rich and entitled” people, and they sometimes say things like that to me …as I explain their credit charge bills to them. You made me laugh and roll my eyes…
