Slicked back ponytail, little goatee, tight black shirt-- what's he staring at? Good God, he looks bored. There's only 4 occupied tables in the cafe... he's staring into space... why won't he look at me? Now he's shifted position about 8 feet and is staring out of the window again. I've been here for 10 minutes..... sure I was on the phone when the waitress first walked over, but why won't anyone come back? He is brutally bored..... wouldn't he love to come over and take my order? Wouldn't you buddy? I'll stare at him, send him a vibe, he'll have to respond---- nope. What the hell ishe doing? Come here! Here! Come here!
Sometimes the service in this country makes you think that people only tip like 8 percent......
ahem.

CLICK her name-- it's a link, silly, not just me praising a pal.

After reading about your Atlanta experiences, I thought maybe it was your face again. But since I know how cute you are, perhaps it was gas?
I got lost in a suburb of St. Paul one time. I was dressed in a suit and driving a gold Volvo with a baby strapped in a carseat--how Minnesota suburban can it get? But when I waved at the person next to me you would have thought that I was driving a beat-up '81 Plymouth Duster, had a beer in my hand and chains hanging from my nose--as well as a baby, but no carseat. This too happened twice. I've never been back to that suburb!
Welcome back to town!
i too would probably be looking into space for a measly 8% tip...
actually, that was one of the "lessons" i gave to some israelis that were staying at my apartment--i.e. when you tip in nyc it's 20%! for good service, even 25%. (however, if my water ain't filled up--then it goes down to 15%).
maybe you scare waiters too?
just kidding.
