Yesterday I went to dinner with a group of women. I have rarely - maybe never - had so much go wrong with the ordering process - it seemed that the restaurant was out of half of what was on the menu. Our waiter was obviously very new and very young. He had to come back often to ask some of us to change our order.
Nearly everyone I know would've gotten upset at the latest by the third time this young man came to our table to tell us yet again that they were out of something - but not this group.
We joked and laughed until we nearly cried. We joked with the waiter. While I saw it in everyone's eyes that they were not particularly happy, everyone was determined not to let it get to them, to have fun and not blame it on the waiter. And everyone still left a respectable tip for this poor young man.
