The Adventure of My Dreams {Colby Brock}

Twenty Three

We made a pact with everyone at the table after those photos were posted to not touch our phones until we were leaving. It was more of a in the moment kind of thing. The calm before the storm even, not knowing what was going to take place at the ranch — we just wanted a fun afternoon.

"Hello everyone, my name is Daisy and I'm going to be your server for today! While everyone looks at the menu, can I get some drinks started?" She asked, notepad and pen in hand with a grin plastered on her lips. By her mannerisms, I would expect she's fully aware of everyone sitting at this table. Well... almost fully aware.

"Just waters for now would be great, thanks." Sam said, nodding in her direction and looking back to the menu. Everyone else seemed to be fine with it because nobody else spoke or looked away from their menu.

She practically skipped away from the table and went into the kitchen to go get waters for all of us.

As I was looking over the menu I decided to get the Dakine French Toast Combo. From the pictures their food looked amazing, and once in a while I was a sucker for a good breakfast, so I was kinda excited about this.

About five minutes later our waiter Daisy came back with a tray full of waters, at this point everyone knew what they wanted to eat.

She walked around the back of the table and placed waters down for each person. Sam, Kat, Tara, Jake, Colby, then myself next. As I looked over my shoulder her tray bumped into my back and every water glass left on it dumped on my back and broke once hitting the floor, not even including the glass that was mine, which she had just dumped all over my lap.

She didn't even apologize or run for napkins, she just flashed me a smile with a lame ass "sorry" and told the others that she would be back with new drinks and to clean this up. To say that I was furious was an understatement.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me, my clothes are completely soaked!" I pushed my chair back and got up, walking over to the hostess.

"Excuse me ma'am, but can I please see a manager?" I asked, leaning up against the stand.

"Of course, I'll be right back with him!" She flashed me a soft smile and scurried off to the kitchen as I stood there and waited.

Nothing about her attitude on the situation nor her actions showed any single bit of sympathy, she knew exactly what the fuck she was doing.

"Hello miss, you wanted to speak? My name is Richard, I'm the manager of this establishment." He said, holding his hand out to shake, which I did. "How may I help you today?"

"I just wanted to speak to you about your server Daisy. She not only poured my drink on my lap, she spilled four drinks down my back. Not to mention nobody has come to our table to mop up the water of broken glass on the floor. I've worked as a server for years so I know accidents do happen, but when she did it she smiled at me and didn't even apologize! It makes me feel as if I'm being targeted because I'm trying to have breakfast with my friends, who do have quite a following."

"I'm very sorry to here about this experience you are having. I will make sure to have a discussion with her and take care of this in a proper manner. For the inconvenience your food will be on us, as a way to say sorry for what happened. Is that okay?" He asked, smiling in my direction.

"Yes that's fine, thank you for speaking with me, Richard." I nodded my head once and smiled softly.

"Anytime dear, I hope you have a better rest of the day." He said and turned away. Before fully entering the kitchen he stopped and saw Daisy taking the order at the table. "Daisy, come back here with me! Jasmine, please go and take care of this table."
