Virgin Mary Strawberry Daiquiri Margarita

As a server you deal with a certain level of abuse from people all the time. You become numb to it...immune...well sometimes. My philosophy is that my servers make $2.13 per hour...that is not enough to have to deal with ugliness...if I feel like a table is that out of line, I will take it. I will serve them.

Any given day even the best server can crack.

This was Whitney's day.

She came to me and said that she could not handle the way this woman was talking to her...she wanted a Virgin Mary Strawberry Daiquiri Margarita...we had made it twice already and it wasn't sweet enough. I went to the table to see exactly what she wanted...bc I have NEVER heard of a Virgin Mary Strawberry Daiquiri Margarita...

when I approached the table I notice an envelope that resembled the kind we send out gift certificates in...then I encountered a familiar voice...yep you guessed it...it was Miss M...there was no introduction...there was no need for that...she told me that she never had problems at other restaurants and didn't know why it was so hard here...

Bar 101 for those of you who are in the dark...
Strawberry Daiquiri = rum + strawberry puree + ice
Margarita = tequila + triple sec + sweet n sour + ice
Virgin = no alcohol
Mary = you got me

Virgin Mary Strawberry Daiquiri Margarita = strawberry puree + sweet n sour + ice
at least that was my guess

well since it wasn't sweet enough...I figured this woman had no clue what she was talking about so I made her a concoction that I came up with on the spot...

strawberry puree + ice + a shit ton of sugar (for the sweet)

and what do you know...perfect!!!

No surprise that she ordered fajitas...so my mission was to give her the best damn fajitas she had ever had...I was going to do it!!!

So when the food came out I asked my grill guy to set off a smoke detector...and he did!!! I made sure that she had the most sizzle EVER!!!

When she paid...she coincidentally paid with $25 in gift certificates

so I made sure that I opened the door for her as she left...praying to Jesus that she would never come back...but up for the challenge if she did!!!

see you later Miss M
