Want To Get Away

I would consider my first evening as a Red Lobster server to be a success, simply because I didn't drop a tray of popcorn shrimp on someones head. Lucky for them they only had to wait extra long because I goofed and mixed up my orders. At least I can blame something like that on the kitchen. But who really knows how much my customers bought that excuse any way.

There's always going to be a learning curve when you start something new. I just wish I could get some straight fast balls though. Instead, I get nothing but sliders in the dirt. I'm batting like 2 for 5, and no RBI's.

Brain fart. I think that would be an appropriate word for how I accidentally misplaced a customers meal.

While spead walking across Red Lobster like a mad man and running food to tables, my brain froze and began to move into clog mode. I then approach one of my tables and kindly said...

"Did you folks save any room for desert?" After I was given an uncomfortable blank stair, I went further and said "The chocolate chip lava cookie is pretty delicious!" My customers look at me with a foolish grin and said.."Yeah, that does sound really good, but we didn't even get our food yet. Uhhhhh...... I felt like I should be on one of those Snicker commercials where they say...

"Want to get away?"

Oh well, like I said..Curve balls.
