Theo Gets Another Warning
Today, after my lunch shift, at which I earned $65, I was called into the manager' s office to review a complaint he had received about my service. It seems that during today's lunch rush, a hungry customer was licking her chops each time I passed by her table carrying food for other customers and was upset when none of it ever turned out to be hers. I didn't notice anything but a vacant stare on her face each time I passed her table. She complained that I was purposefully walking past her in order to rouse her. I don't have any recollection of doing that intentionally, but here I was, staring my second warning right in the face. I guess my demeanor made her angry enough to complain. I also think I need a new job. Or a few auditions. Or both.
I never realized that this woman was trying to communicate with facial expressions. Everytime I looked at her, she had a relatively blank stare. I have a feeling this won't be the first time collagen and botox leave me with egg on my face.

Take heart MR. G, it could have been another Midori. I could never be a waitperson myself, no patience and little tolerance for most people ;)
Jeez...and perhaps as a waiter you could have done the most basic thing required when you see a customer staring at you a lot...uh, ask "is everything ok?" or the standard, "Can I get you anything else while you wait for your meal?"
I always crack up at "actors" complaining about waiting jobs...Yeah - you should get a different job as you aren't good at being a waiter - and are just making the innocent (and paying) customer suffer.
Seriously Theo could you stop whining?
I've seen people pull some outrageous things in restaurants and I was a Beverly Hills barista for many years. I'm on your side, Theo.
