Ham and Cheese Omelette Man – the Man, the Enigma
July 30, 2009
Ham and Cheese Omelette Man has been sighted several times in the restaurant when I haven’t been present. I received news of it by word of mouth and via text. We know he is still alive and well. He was ignored once much to my chagrin and had I know what server failed to notice him I would have promptly beaten them with the split bill of a twelve top in books. I was beginning to wonder about his well being after I stopped working so many mornings because of the questionable scheduling. I’m pleased to know he’s still coming around ordering his omelette and tea and muffin.
It was dead quiet from two to five today. I had a total of two tables in that time span. However, there was a woman in the parking lot that sat there for about an hour with her head on the steering wheel. I was convinced, after a time, that she had died. Suspicions were later proved false as she came in to eat dinner alone. It was possible she had decided to take a nap until dinner.
I have stopped writing on the checks as of today. There has been a questionable decline in tips since the beginning of the test. We’ll see if things pick up now that I’m not writing on them or if I’m just in a tip slump. Are to many patrons of this restaurant gaining literacy and accessing the interwebs? I ask this again because I must know!
