Wonder Boy, what is the secret of his power...
Hey, let's show a little link love for Jimmy, the wordsmith behind Wonder Boy. His anecdotes make me miss the camaraderie of restaurant waitstaff. It almost makes me want to go work at a restaurant again. Unfortunately, the most interesting thing that ever happened to me when I waited tables was a reccuring nightmare that I couldn't get the food out of the Expo Window fast enough. I had already worked all day. I just wanted to sleep, but I always woke up exhausted from working all night.
I was never any good at waiting tables. I refilled drinks and took care of requests unbeknownst to my tables. Apparently nobody likes a stealth waiter with secret ninja skillz...
Fun restaurants that don't want my stealth ninja skillz to come back: T.G.I. Friday's Back when they still wore those bastardized referee stripes, suspenders with gobs o' buttons, and funny hats Eskimo Joe's A crazy nutty place. Unassuming den of hedonistic eating by day, debauchery and drunken revelry by night. The cheesefries are to die for -- that's why we call them a heart-attack on a plate. Oy the grease. |
