Today I met up with some fellow car dealers for lunch. We do it at least once a month, to talk about stuff going on in the trade and sometimes we sell to one or the other. Today someone chose a pretty up-scale restaurant. Five of us went today.

So we all get seated and our server came up and said my name is Katey, I'll be serving you. So she took our drink orders, mostly tea and one cola. And she said Katey will be right back with your drinks? I thought I was hearing things because everyone was talking and the restaurant was loud?

So she came back with our drinks and said, everyone ready to order? Katey's ready to take your order, now? WHAT? So she had no pen or pad? And one or two said, are going to write this down? She said NO, Katey's got this? But we all started to place our our order. So It comes my turn and I said your probably going to need to write this down? She said no, Katey's got this. Ok, what ever? So I go over my order totally, No Onions, Pepper Jack Cheese, Extra Pickels and extra well done. It's a famous burger place here in town. So I asked my buddy that's sitting next to me, is he hearing this. He said yeah, she probably thinks she's funny? But I didn't! I wasn't there to be entertained?

So she brought out our food and 3 out of the 5 orders were totally wrong. Even mine! And two of the salads were wrong. I don't eat onions! So I told her, Katey better tell Katey to go tell the manager to come here. So a few minutes later a NICE young lady came over and said is there a problem? I said yes, my Order is totally wrong my salad is wrong and I asked Katey to write it down. And Katey is standing right behind her. Katey then proceeds to say, Katey brought you what you ordered? I said 3 of the meals are all wrong and Katey should'a wrote it down. The manager at this time, informs me that Katey is Grad Student and very smart. Oh well, I said, Katey needs to tell Katey to write down the order!!! And the manager looked like she knew what I was talking about? Katey's third person personality???

So the manager came back over and someone asked for the check. She said there is no check! That She took care of it. And if we liked she'd re-make our orders to go. We all said NO Thanks!

So we were getting up and leaving and Katey came over all smirky to start cleaning the table and one of the Guys threw a $5 bill down and said, tell Katey to give this to Katey to buy a pen and pad! We all busted out laughing!

So what was supposed to be an enjoyable lunch turned into a Katey-thon.

So we go out to the parking lot talking about what just happened. And one of the Guys said, she probably hates her job and is using that to separate herself from it? Who knows? Who cares! Katey sounded crazy too me?

I don't trust those waiters/waitresses with what they believe
to be their photographic memories either.
I cringe whenever i am waited on and they have no pen and
paper.
Sounds like maybe you got a nutcase job who was in love
with herself a little.
Perhaps Katie can tell Katie it's time to look for another line
of work.
Sounds like she might make a good puppeteer or ventriloquist.

Sad Part Is, She Was!

Was she at least fun to look at??

Yes, She was about 24-26 (guessing) very tall, slim and yes, very pretty.

Any other time it might'a been cute. But were there to eat and enjoy our company, not see a side show. But I think she thought that since she was pretty and smart. She could get by with most anything? And probably does and has most of her life? Somebody later said, she might've been the owners daughter??

But I'd much rather had a less attractive waitress that could write down a order correctly. And get it right. And knew her own name. And not have to keep reminding herself?

Thanks for letting me vent! It was just a weird experience. And something to talk about at our next meeting? And for $12.95-15.95 a burger and that didn't include fries or baked potato or salad or drink. I want it Correct. It's NOT Booger King where you expect stupidity!!
 
It wouldn't matter....

It wouldn't matter if they wrote it down or not. They'd mess is up either way.

Also, I would hope I was in a really good mood for that bizarro experience. It was painful to read, much less witness.
 
Nighttime is the time to engage in cute foolishness (if there is a time). A good server would recognize a business lunch and keep it professional, efficient, correct, and without incident.

I pity the person that she eventually works for.
 
I watched my wife take orders in an upscale Italian Seafood restaurant. It made my brain explode. She was working about ten tables. No problem.

Her Mums and Pops raised her in their German restaurant. I first met her bartending stateside and she never missed an order with a packed bar. Always banked out well and accurate.

She was something else.

Added, She never referred to herself in the third person. She was one of a kind.

People who talk to me in the third person had better not be between me and the door. If they are, a leg sweep to the ground followed by STRICT instructions to stay there follow. I've been there twice, the first and last time.
