So in between essays on restaurant life in general, and writing down things as they happen, I have about three years of backlog of stories that I've been collecting. Some of these are straight out of a notebook that we used to have at work where we'd all anonymously write snippets of our day.
Every Friday will be Flashback Friday on the blog, and I'll post a few old snippets of conversation or descriptions of events. Some of these are things that happened to me, some happened to co-workers. These are unedited, just copied from my notebooks:

Waiter Story
---I got home after work yesterday and fell asleep in my uniform. I woke up at 6:30 AM in said uniform, rolled out of bed without showering, and came to work.

Conversation with a guest
Waiter: Hi! How are you?
Guest: I'm waiting for someone
Waiter: Anything to drink while you wait?
Guest: yeah....I'm waiting for someone.
Waiter: Okay, so would you like a beverage?
Guest: I'm not eating right now.

Conversation with a guest
Waiter: Hi, how are you doing tonight?
Guest: No, no, no, no.
Waiter: Okay, but how are you doing?
Guest: Peru!
That's all for now. Plenty of stories where that came from.
