Extra, Extra
I wait tables part time, and that means a lot of interactions with people. Sometimes these people are odd. Like a couple of weeks ago, when I had a table of two. . . They each ordered an entree, hash browns, and a salad. That in and of itself isn't unusual. But then they said they wanted to order an extra side of hash browns. This is a bit unusual since we serve the hash browns family style and an order for two is quite generous. However, people really love the hash browns, so I didn't think much of it. This was their first extra. They then decided to order an extra salad, so they could each have a more sizable salad to begin their meal. Extra number two. They finished their meal (but not all of the hash browns - turns out that an order for two would've been sufficient). I asked them if they would like dessert. They both ordered 2 scoops of ice cream with EXTRA chocolate sauce. I am not kidding! I kept referring to them as my extra table. I found myself hoping that their tendency for extra would mean I'd get an extra large tip. Sure enough: 30%. Hooray!
