Their Mind Has Wandered Off The Reservation

(My coworkers and I are going out for lunch during the workday to celebrate a special occasion. One of my coworkers has made a reservation for eight people. We arrive as a group at the restaurant.)

Coworker: “Hello, we have a reservation under [Coworker].”

Hostess: “Oh, is it for a bridal shower?”

Coworker: “No, just a normal reservation for eight.”

Hostess: “Oh, well, we don’t have any other reservations.”

Coworker: “I just called and made a reservation yesterday. Could you please check again?”

Hostess: *suddenly surprised* “Oh, you mean for today?!”

Coworker: *looks around at our group of people, obviously confused as to why we would all be standing there waiting for a table if our reservation was for a different day* “Yes, for today.”

Hostess: “Well, in that case, right this way.”
