Every night people walk in to the restaurant.
I say hello. How are you?
And they walk up and say, hi we have a reservation for four.
And then go silent.
Uh. Should I guess your name?
Or they say John.
I have 17 John’s with a reservation. Do I have to guess which one?
Or they say hi this is Sarah Smith.
Uh. Would it be under a different name?
No Sarah Smith.
Are you sure?
Oh I’m sorry John made the reservation check his name.
Or they say hi we have a reservation for Sarah Smith.
Uh. I don’t have a Sarah Smith.
I swear I have a reservation. Here’s the text you sent me!
Could it be under a different name?
No. Sarah Smith.
How about Sarah Dumbowsky?
Oh yeah. I forgot. That’s my maiden name.
I could continue this for ten more pages with examples of people not knowing their names.
