The Ugly Table #55

by

My belly. So what!?

REGULARS ARE FANTASTIC

They don’t always tip the best, but they meet the mark.

And this prose is not about money, it is about comfort.

As a server, you want comfort from mayhem.

While I may be a crazy bastard who has seen some crazy shit waiting tables, I still have a threshold.

Stress is not pleasant. Ever.

I found myself in a situation I could not control.

Then some ‘regulars’ showed up and asked for me.

Roy & Roseane may never know what they did. But they took me from a 10 to a 1 with their gift.

Thank you.

    Can you just imagine the frustration he must feel after he’s done with these “meaningful” sessions? I bet he gets in his car and lets loose with his behind closed door language. What a crowd he draws. Funny!!

    Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
    Hover through the fog and filthy air.
