Hostess: “Good evening, this is Fancy Restaurant. How may I help you?”
Me: “Hi. I was there earlier this evening and I’m wondering if I may have accidentally left an item there.”
Hostess: “Oh, I’m so sorry for your inconvenience, sir. I’ll be happy to assist you in any way I can. Do you remember the name of your server?”
Me: “Sorry, I’m not sure. Maybe it was… Amy?”
Hostess: “Hmm… Could it have been Teresa?”
Me: “Possibly.”
Hostess: “Maybe it was Sarah?”
Me: “Maybe, I guess. I’m really not sure. But, you know, she’ll probably remember me. I was the 6’4″ Viking wearing a kilt.”
Hostess: (laughter) “Oh yes… we all remember you.” (laughter)
