The Customer

Being a waitress in one of the most popular diners in my part of town, I have the privilege to come in contact with so many interesting faces. You have the customers that think of you as a pet and speak to you as such, loosely supervised children who view me as nothing more than a food bullseye and a manager that passively aggressively encourages harder work--as if I am not working hard as a radiator as is. Most people come in, eat their food and leave. Some people may even leave a tip, in their unfinished food. One customer, though, was very different.
