A Server's Gripe

Last night my last table was a guy who was alone.
He sat down at 9:00 p.m.
He left at 10:35.
(We close at 10:00 p.m.)

And this is why Never Ending Pasta Bowl with unlimited soup or salad should be illegal.

He ate...
Zuppa Tuscana (340 calories)
Fettuccine Alfredo (1070 calories)
Chicken & Gnocchi (250 calories)
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce (690 calories)
Pasta e Fajoli (130 calories)
...(bathroom break)...
Linguine with Roasted Portobello Pomodoro (509 calories)
Zuppa Tuscana (340 calories)
Orecchiette with Creamy Parmesan Florentine (840 calories)
Fettuccine Alredo (1070)

5 bowls of pasta
4 bowls of soup
5,239 calories
1.5 extra hours of work (no other tables)

1 dollar tip.

Haha.... Pierce and I TOTALLY know what you're talking about. Some people. Rude. And just don't understand or don't care. WOW! That's amazing he ate that much... that must be a record. I'm sorry.

I'm just glad I don't have to put up with it anymore. My friend megan always says- "10% is for the Church, 20% is for me." And I don't think people get it. Sad.

Haha, wowww. I'm kinda speechless... how can someone eat that much in one sitting!? Whew! Talent. Or lack of stomach? Maybe his whole body was a stomach. Weird. Bummer deal on the tip.
