Story #15: The Set Up
“I was a server and had a couple come in. They seemed happy at first. He said, ‘Order whatever you want,’ and made sure she had a drink and got dessert. Then he gave me his card ahead of time and said he wanted to pay for it before she tried everything she wanted. As she was finishing up dessert, I walked by and I heard him say, ‘So…you know I know, right?’ My ears perked up. He continued, ‘You have to know that I know. Haha, I mean, I’m not stupid. ‘What are you talking about, babe? Of all the people. Of all the people! Haha! Him? That’s just…Eye opening. I’m sorry you felt like you weren’t getting enough from me.’ The whole time, he spoke with a pretty friendly, matter-of-fact tone.”
