It's ok to come to a restaurant and eat alone. Nobody actually would make fun of you. We are too busy making fun of autists who can't control their 4 children running around the restaurant.

How does it feel knowing you made that man's day, every day until he died?

A good taco never killed anyone.

We have a guy who comes in 3-4 nights a week, always alone, around an hour before close. All the servers love him, and he usually orders a lot, but nothing too complicated or with a bunch of modifications. I liked him alright until he had a few drinks and started talking politics one night... I want to fuck with his food, but I'm a professional, and he always says he's happy when he comes in and sees me on the line because he knows his food is going to be perfect. Sometimes serving people sucks.

He sounds like a weirdo. Who recommends waiters to people? I'd be creeped out.

RIP Brian.

Reminds me of a reading comprehension story I did for a test in 5th grade that never left me. There was an old guy who was lonely after his wife died and became depressed. He walked down the street on a stroll one night, and decided to stop into a diner. The waiter was this brown guy who served him with sincerity and a warm smile. The old guy felt good, and thought of him as an angel. Sometimes we gotta just love one another man.

when I delivered pizza there was a guy named Terry who always made the same order Monday and Friday night. he'd had a stroke and had trouble talking on the phone and writing checks, so usually he'd call up and say his name and we had a post it with his really specific sandwich next to the phone, so we'd just ask if he wanted the usual
he got a foot long club with roast beef , mayo on half, mustard on half, with onion, toasted and a 2l of diet coke
I delivered to him twice a week for about 2 years before we heard from his sister in law that he'd died on the toilet, like Elvis
he did not tip very well, usually in a fistful of small change, but seeing how he was a disabled guy and probably on a fixed income it was hard to blame him

It's what men do when they find someone reliable in an environment that they frequent. It's like finding a good mechanic or good restaurant. You compartmentalize positive experiences and recommend places or people to friends/family/acquaintances.

It's a person who carries plates.

>> No.13612993

>>13612966
And he carried the plates so well he got one repeat customer to recommend the restaurant to 12 people. That's how business works, and that's how winning works.

It is impossible to excel at that job. Only a private obsession would prompt a person to recommend a person for such a basic task.

You dont have to be obsessed to think a positive experience is worth a recommendation based on the kindness of the staff.

>t. lardasses with no long term goals or happiness
the man died of a heart attack because he approached food as his source of entertainment
OP was his primary dealer -- even moreso if he actually went out of his way to recommend a waiter at a shitty tex mex restaurant
