That was me tonight. One of our servers got completely swamped with the dinner rush tonight so i had to help out and take a table of 5. It was a cute family with 3 girls. Anyway, after taking their drink and appetizer orders (the mom even ordered a couple of glasses of wine!) i put their order in for the food.

I kept checking on them as a good server should. Well, when i’d finally dropped off their check they were thrilled with the whole meal and dining experience. I thanked them and went back to pick up their credit card receipt and the dude (the dad) had left me a $12 tip!!! I was so excited! They left me 20% (their bill was $60). Anyway, Kelly, one of our other servers, who incidentally sounds like Carrie from King of Queens (a CBS sitcom), sarcastically mentioned that i should “go out and buy myself somethin’ nice” (in a very Brooklyn, NY accent).

It was fun. At least i know if this stay-at-home-mommy thing doesn’t work out, i could always wait tables if i had to! 🙂
