A young man who works as a server for me reported that one afternoon during the slow time between services he had two ladies at sitting at a table having a late lunch. First they came in right as lunch was ending which always pleases the cooks a whole lot (not), but that's too bad because that's their job. After lunch they sat and relaxed in the pleasant atmosphere of the cafe. The young waiter approached them occasionally to check on them. Would they care for anything else? May I take your plates, etc.. Not wanting to be a nuisance, he took the cue to stay behind the bar and wait to see if they needed assistance.
At this point nature called to him, so he took about 5 steps over to the men's room and closed the door to do what he had to do.
Now the ladies suddenly had an overwhelming need for assistance. He hears a pounding on the door and hears the woman scream out "Hey- can we get a cappuccino?"
I wouldn't have believed him but a line cook looked up when she heard the commotion and is a witness.
People really do this stuff. I would at least have waited to make sure he had washed his hands.
