Phone rang today around 2:00.

Older man on the phone.

Wanted to know if we were open because the weather was bad. (It was only raining).

I assured him we were. He hung up.

Phone rang again around 2:10. I know from caller ID that it’s the same man. 

Wants to know if he needs a reservation to come in for dinner. I advise him that it’s always best to have one, because we don’t save room from walkins.

He thanks me and hangs up.

The phone rang again around 2:20.

Guess who?

He wants to know if he can make a reservation. I get the important information. 2 people at 5:00 for tonight. I get to the last step. I’m about to hit confirm. He stops me. Says he needs to confirm this with his wife. He’ll call back. I cancel the reservation and hang up.

Phone rings around 2:30.

It’s him again. He wants to make a reservation but he wants the the room to the left of the bar with the doors that shut. I explain that those rooms are for 6 to 8 people. I say I can’t reserve the room for just two people. He says he’ll check with his wife. And call back.

Phone rings at 2:40.

Guess who.

He wants to know if he makes the reservation for a later time can he have the room. I explain that unfortunately no. It’s only for larger parties. He says okay. Hangs up.

Phone rings at 2:50.

He wants to know if he can get one of the booths that are separate in the dining room. I say yes. We have one open. He makes the reservation. 2 people. Table 11. 5:00. I confirm everything and we hang up.

Phone rings. It’s 3:00.

He apologizes but says he’d like to cancel.

I cancel the reservation.

We hang up.
