The Waitress by William Capozzoli

“Excuse me, I am very certain that the chicken in my entrée was absent. However, I do not want the chicken anymore because the beef and pork were plentiful and delicious. But, if you could assure me that the next customer who orders this mixed-meat entrée is insured against not having the chicken, then I will be most happy.”

The waitress smiled and I cut off any chance of response, “May I buy you a drink?”

“Well, I can’t now. I’m working."

“I’m not talking about now, silly."

"I can get you a drink because I'm the waitress here."

"Fine. I'll take a pen and a napkin, with a couple ice cubes and gin on the side."
