"AH,
LUNCH!"
By; Gerald A. Polley
Working in hotels and restaurants you can run into some rather odd
people, to say the least. One afternoon I was asked to take a room
service order up to a room where some young ladies were staying.
I knocked on the door and two of them opened it. One of them
began to explain that they were going to one of the local amateur
theaters in the area, and they wondered how to get there.
"Oh, that's easy!" I began to explain, "You just go down to the
intersection, make a right, go down to the next intersection, make a
left, make a left at the next intersection, then from there on you just
bear right and you'll end up right in their front door. You can't miss
it!"
"Let's see," the young lady began speaking, "right, left...."
At that moment the bathroom door opened and a third young woman
emerged. All she had on was a tiny pair of panties and a towel
around her head. "Oh! Lunch is here!" she remarked.
"I think you've got it" I told the other young lady, and quickly
retreated, closing the door behind me, and letting out a deep sigh.
"Mary!" I heard through the door, "That was terrible! Why
do you DO things like that?"
The third young lady laughed. "Oh, don't be such a wet blanket!"
she remarked. "He enjoyed the show!"
"You're impossible, Mary!" the other girl continued, "You're just
impossible!"
I quickly went back to work but the cook immediately knew something had
happened and demanded I explain.
"Wow!" he commented, "Next time I'll take the room services!"
A little while later one of the young ladies came in the door.
"I'm terribly sorry my friend embarrassed you," she remarked.
"You never got a tip!" She handed me a considerable one.
"I have to say, young lady," I remarked, "that your friend should be
careful. There's some men that might not be so kind if they're
given such an exhibition. She might not get her own self in
trouble but all of you."
The young lady nodded. "I'm afraid Mary doesn't think of things
like that!" she explained. Again she asked for directions
and I repeated them, then the young lady left.
Yes, working in restaurants and hotels can have its moments, it most
certainly can!
