occurred yesterday at the 'rant and i am in a bit of awe
so pretty much this table of five comes in, and i say hi to them and from where im standing i look at the gentleman to the right of me and the lady to the left of me and im like "ok hmmm... i think i know them". (foreshading: whenever i recognize people 9 times out of 10 its NOT because they loved everything and everything went smooth.) as the gentleman recognizes me all of a sudden the sepia tone flashback occurs in my brain to the VIVID memory of where i know them from
long story short the couple in question came in to the 'rant like 2 months prior. the gentleman ordered mezcal in an EXTREMELY extra fashion and made a stink about it as if thats the default way to drink his well mezcal... all while the lady was making a stink about how we dont serve the guava cocktails from the other restaurant also in the hotel. then the lady ordered CRISPY POTATOES and sent them back. when i asked her about the NEW item she ordered INSTEAD she then went ranting about these crispy potatoes "you know those potatoes really werent crispy... if this is the standard this restaurant is running on then you guys are in trouble!" like ok i didnt ask about that nor do i care
this memory plays vividly in my head in this .2 seconds like a vision from thats so raven and not 5 seconds later i shit you not the lady goes "are the potatoes still not crispy?!?" again refusing to engage with this woman ("im disengaging" - dr holly --me) i smile and laugh while not saying a WORD.
everything goes smooth enough. except when a different gentleman at the table ordered crispy potatoes that i FORGOT TO RING IN! and when they eventually came they sent it back because it was too late lol oops, but honestly they would have complained about it so i kinda won there. then at the end of the night the gentleman pulls me aside and is all like "do you work wednesday?" again mouth agape that im just like HOW do these people like me all they do is complain and i actually actively fucked up this time.
anyways the answer is maybe because i might work wednesday so this story MIGHT continue and we might get a finally get an answer as to whether or not the potatoes truly are crispy
