(148 posts)Having worked in this industry. Part of the job is standing at attention in the waiting room. No one would let him flounder so long. the dining room is never empty of staff with that many patrons. There are waiters, table girls, bar tenders, bus boys, waitresses, and yhe hostess.
Do you remember the first two years of MaSH. The TV show? Colonel Blake tells his wife not to tell anyone he is coming home, they'll just show up at the club and surprise everyone. Then he dies on the ride home. I worked at that real club. McClean Stevenson. Named for McLean county Illinois. Stevenson as in related to Adlai. He went to Illinois Wesleyan where he got caught mooning the KKG house in college. My college, my country club where I waited tables. The producers of MASH let him wear his Illini crap on the show. He was referencing my club in the episode he died in. Bloomington Illinois. We did not have station A. We had "dick in blue blazer", "cow in pearls", "mean guy in horrible plaid". Tables were different based on the dining room and size and shape. When you took an order you noted the person them self so you could deliver the right food even when you had six tables. I'm starting to doubt this whole story.
