Server Smackdown
(My boyfriend and I are at a breakfast food restaurant. Our waitress (#1) so far has been decent; the order was right, she got me a different drink because the first was too sweet, etc. As we are finishing, we hear another waitress (#2) yell at her.)
Waitress #2: “Hey [Waitress #1]! What the f*** did you do with my pen? I told you I needed it right back!”
Waitress #1: “If I was done with it, I’d have given it back to you.”
Waitress #2: “Look, lil’ girl—”
(At this point they go into the kitchen, but we can still hear them yelling at each other, peppered with profanities. Waitress #2 comes out and goes to a table Waitress #1 is waiting on. The customers have already gone and left the check holder on the edge of the table. Waitress #2 smacks the bottom of the check holder, flipping it over and causing it to land in a plate of food the customers had left on the table.)
Me: *to my boyfriend* “Oh my God, I can’t believe she just did that! We better go before there’s a real fight!”
Boyfriend: “No, let’s see if our waitress wins. If she does, she gets the better tip!”
