The Waiter’s View

I first noticed her sensitive eyes, soft dark hair across her brow, and uplifting smile. He, on the other hand, frowned, consistently avoiding eye contact with me. I brought them cocktails, dinner, and coffee. Finally, the bill.

He nearly stiffed me. A $3 tip for a $84 dinner?

When they were leaving, as he headed to the restroom, she walked up to me.

“What kind of tip did he give you?”

I told her the truth.

“Thanks,” she said with a wry smile. “This is our first date. I’m trying to figure out what kind of a guy he is.”
