Elle Woods Would Be Proud

Years ago, I worked as a cocktail bartender and waiter. A group of suits came in and sat down and I went to take their order. I got a bad vibe from them from the get-go. After I finished the order and went to leave, this sleazy guy in his thirties said, loud enough for everyone to hear:

Customer: “Walk away slowly, baby, so we can watch!”

I smiled at him and started to do an over-dramatic slow-motion back away, keeping eye contact with him and smiling the whole time.

I told the other waiters about it, and everyone started doing these slow-motion walks whenever they walked past their table. The best one was a busboy who deliberately dropped something next to their table and then did a very slow and sexy pick-up, like the “bend and snap” from “Legally Blonde”.

The group left pretty quickly.
