My former wife and I went into a restaurant after a New Year's Eve Party
one night and she asked for a cup of hot tea. The waitress brought a
glass of tea without ice to the table. I asked if she even knew what
hot tea was, and her response was "tea without ice I guess".

This morning around 5am Chrisy Lou brought my coffee with a soup spoon in it.

pronouce her name as only a Southerner can.

I was in a resturant in a Western NC many years ago at lunch time when a rough
looking fellow sat down next to me and ordered a hamburger. The waitress asked
him "Yu wan ny unons ont"? He asked her "what did you say?" and she said it
again, exasperated. He said "Oh hell, just give me a coke and a bag of
peanuts." Took them, paid and left. ;/)

Y`all will hate this one. When my dad first moved us to Las Vegas in
`29, we went into a diner to eat breakfast and he ordered coffee. The
waitress brought it just as he was saying, "It looks like rain." She
patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, but it smells like coffee."
He thought it tasted like rain, too. We kids weren`t allowed to drink
coffee.

My grandmother used to laugh about a pronunciation from WAY out in the
country that you city fellers would have a hard time with. They called
them yingerns. (Boiling oniors.)
She knew how to bargain them down, too.

Of limited interest to everyone but me, I'm sure, but I have to share
this with all: I've finally discovered an old-fashioned Hamburger
joint where you can still get them with SAUTEED onions AND steamed
buns! We stop there three times a week on our way home from dialysis.
<g> The waitresses don't even ask anymore what we want, they simply
ask: " Three or four?" (hamburgers) Honestly! This happened the other
night <g>. Paul

Well, it certainly interested me, Paul! I can smell and taste that `burger now.
You are lucky.
Some time back as we were driving home from SIL`s funeral, we stopped at a
Drive in Resturant. Only one, I guess, left in the whole world. Food wasn`t
worth a damm but the memories it evoked was worth every centavo.

We had a thread on Hamburgers a month or so ago, Warren, and I'm sad to
say, many of our peers (right here in this group!!!) prefer burgers so
chock-full of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and special sauces that the
taste of that delectable patty gets completely swallowed up. They are
nothing but traitors to our age group.<g> Give me an old-fashioned
burger any day. Paul

There are worse fates than bonding with waitresses.

Always remember one near Binghamton New York who found me a coat hanger to get
my car unlocked in April 1969.

She said you a trucker?

Like a fool I said no.

Can't remember her face but I know I like it at the time--her face her humour,
her helpfulness her energy hmmm!

Blake, I remember my uncle's mother-in-law in Missouri making creamed new
potatoes with boiled onions. I only know that she used whole fresh cream,
yingerns and new potatoes(left whole) and served it with steamed cabbage. I
couldn't tell you anything else that was on the table because those two
things made such an impression on me as I was only 8 years old. To this day,
I don't remember a better meal. That was a great summer of memories for me.
My uncle had a large farm with horses, cattle and other critters. I rode one
special horse(bareback) every day. I finally had to start putting the saddle
on because I wasn't used to riding. I was sore and sunburned, but I had
great fun riding through the woods each day. Thanks Blake, you have brought
back more good memories than just that meal. Arlin :-)

Don't you enjoy that kind of recognition? I do. When Don and his lovely
Bride come into our restaurant, we sometimes have already seen the car pull
up, have their coffee, OJ and silverware on the table before they walk
through the door. We, as servers, absolutely love our regular customers,
know what they like and how they like it. They become part of our family
and when they miss a day, we worry. We've even been known to "write them
up" and document their absence, give them *points* for no/call-no/shows,
laugh about it and then get down to the gossip time. Most customers don't
know how much we truly enjoy them and how much they mean to us as friends.
We even have a regular customer who played on the female baseball league in
1942. That's exciting!! I have her "baseball card"--autographed........

3-napkin burger....not like little charcoal things you get at some places.
