She'd pull a knife and fork out of her back pocket.  And possible some spices.
I'm trying to be better organized at work, rather than keeping it all in my head.  It's a good thing too, because OMGSOMUCH is going on that even staring at my lists and instructions I'm all
wait, what were we talking about again?!
Oof.
	
 
		
		
I finally ate at Applebee's!  And it was
delicious.
And there looked like a lot of other good things on the menu.  So there.  The only annoyance was that the check was fourteen-something, so I asked for change from my $20, because I was going to leave a $3 tip.  Perfectly respectable. But she came back with a $5 bill for me.  I over-tipped out of annoyance.  Who does that?
	
 
		
		
Dude. "Can I get change" 
means 
"can I get the change broken down into smaller units". Not "can I get back the difference between this and the total on the bill". That part comes by default unless otherwise stated!
	
 
		
		
I should only go on crime sprees with Teppy.
Good plan! And remember -- we SAY NOTHING TO THE COPS!!!

You're just reinforcing. That is maddening, the not getting small bills back.

God, I know, right?  But then I started talking to myself about how she needs the $2 more than I do, BUT STILL.  It's not like I got a lot of service.

that's very sweet of you.  not getting the change I asked for is a pet peeve of mine that often results in the server getting a much crummier tip than I had originally intended.  Yours was lucky to have you.

Harrumph.  What did you eat?  And where was this supposedly good chain restaurant in the city?  I went to a TGI Fridays once in Manhattan. And it was the sketchiest, most depressing place I have ever been to in New York. When we got there, the police had 
already shown up.
