A message from a friend of mine tonight.

I love your posts. Best part of staying up late is I often get to read them before I go to bed. I have never worked in a restaurant — but I am a frequent diner.  I’m astounded at the rudeness of some of the people you describe. And you have modified one of my bad behaviors. I have been that multiple-caller-no-message guy before. I’m a bit obsessive-compulsive that way but it never occurred to me that there might be a record of me doing that. OMG. My embarrassment now outweighs my obsessive-compulsiveness.
