One bad Hostess
If I haven't mentioned it before, I work in a restaurant. Six days a week, for forty hours a week, I am inside of an upper class casual dining restaurant. I have worked there for over a year now, and have become the head server for the restaurant.
In my time at the restaurant, I have met and seen many people. Most people leave very quickly, some stick around and are good employees, and some of them we just can't get rid of.
So it is Friday night in the restaurant. The lights are still dimmed, servers are scattered around rolling silverware and cleaning tables. Millions of breadcrumbs have been swept up and only a few more left to find, when our evil hostess walks BACK in the door. This girl has snakes in her hair, and if you look her directly in the eyes, you become a very dull and boring person, so I am told. As she walks towards the door, the servers that are counting their money rush to the door to try and barricade it to keep her out. We all know what she wants, no one comes back to work after a long night for this reason, except for her. She wants a table, one that we have already cleaned, for herself and three other people who will be there in a few minutes. This is five minutes until close.
Well, she busts through the makeshift barricade we have put against the door. And as soon as she enters, a server friend of mine accidentally locked eyes with her, the personality was immediately taken from him. He is currently undergoing therapy to reverse the incident, he should be ok. So after blowing past the doors, she immediately seats herself at a clean table, demands for bread, and starts tearing at the bread like a wild animal. Then the rest of her gang joins her in middle of throwing breadcrumbs all over the restaurant, and they don't leave until an hour after close. Only a million more bread crumbs for me to clean up now.
Man I hope she gets fired today.
