A Waiter Wizard!

  My wife and I joined my daughter,
son-in-law and two of our grand
children for dinner yesterday.
   We often pick one of the local
Grotto restaurants when we get
together. There's always an
attractive special and a menu that
seems to meet our varied tastes
pretty well. And they are varied!!!!
   Yesterday we choose the Grotto
in Edwardsville. And that's where
we met the Wizard!!!
    The young man who was
assigned to our table was there
promptly to take our dink orders
then gave us a few minutes to
look over the menu.
    Choosing is always a challenge
for our group! Even if the selection
is as simple as pizza there's usually
a great debate over the topping.
     The end result is almost always
six different orders for as many people.
     And usually each of the orders is,
in some way, varied from the
description of the item offered on'
the menu.
     And so our waiter returned and
patiently listened as each of us
described, in great detail, our specific
choice of entrees.
     But he didn't write anything down!
     Since our particular order was
both extensive and, in some ways,
unique, we questioned his lack of
pencil and paper!.
    He told us, in a very reassuring way,
he had memorized our order!
    Some time later he returned with
each and every food item we had
ordered ...prepared exactly the way we
ordered it!
    Again expressing our amazement he
explained that he usually has trouble
reading his own writing and decided
it was easier to memorize everything!
    Heck! I sometimes forget what I
ordered minutes after I ordered it!
    We have never seen a server with
the ability to remember so many
separate items! It is a gift!
    I think the guy should get a raise!
In fact I was going to recommend it!
But I can't remember his name!
    Hope you remembered to read this
Blog and that all your NEWS is good!
