*i know, i know. i’ve been severely mia lately. i was out of the country for two weeks, started summer school, and am the maid of honor in my best friend’s upcoming wedding.
not to mention summer has begun (question mark) and thus so has busy bar season.
i’ve always found it awkward funny when a customer leaves his phone number or asks for mine. i mean, we all know that’s probably not the first time he’s ever done it. nor the last. and does he truly, honestly think that he’s creative & original enough to actually obtain a waitress/bartender’s intrigue?
a fellow waitress has a simple solution to quickly escape the sometimes uncomfortable moment when a slightly intoxicated patron asks for her number. she smiles wide, bats her eyes…and gives out her (single) friend’s number. it’s a win-win situation: the guy thinks he scored and that she’s interested and therefore, she tends to get a better tip. plus, her friend receives plenty of hilarious material.
like this most recent ditty…
no more than half an hour after the waitress passed off her friend’s digits, the db sends a simple message:
“i miss us.”
oh, dear lord.
