They Really Want It To Be Another Day
(I am a server, and our restaurant has just opened for lunch. I’m currently on the patio, setting roll-ups on each table. There is a customer reading our display menus a few feet away.)
Customer: “What is your soup of the day?”
Me: “Today, it will be Guinness Cheddar.”
Customer: “Thanks, I’ll be back with my wife.”
(He returns twenty minutes later with his wife, and asks for a table outside. And as soon as I direct them to a table, I put menus down and he asks:)
Customer: “So, what’s your soup of the day?”
Me: “I believe it is still Guinness Cheddar.”
(I go back inside.)
Me: “[Other Server], table 63 is all yours. They just sat down, and have asked me what the soup of the day is twice already.”
Server: “No problem.”
(He goes out to greet the table, and a couple minutes later, comes back inside laughing.)
Server: “They both asked me what the soup of the day is!”
