The Ugly Table #51

I’M HEAD’N OUT

ME: “Where yah goin?”

Maybe a better approach would have been,

“Do you need anything else? Could I get your tab?” or

“Would it be okay if I transfer your tab to another server or would you like to close it out?”

or, if you prefer the straight forward approach,

“Hey, fuckers, this bitch wants to go home. I’m tired and sick of the shit tips. So pay up. If you need another drink, tough shit.”

The Ugly Table #50

KITTY KAT SHIRT

Picture this . . .

6 foot 5 inch man

conservative haircut

black shorts, nondescript tennis shoes

PURPLE TYE-DIE T-SHIRT WITH MULTIPLE KITTENS PRINTED ON IT

(oh it gets better)

Comes in the next day with the same shirt on, and reading the same romantic novel.

If he shows up tomorrow, we are reporting him to the police. And I am not talking about the fashion police.
