Waitress Wisdom

I overheard imparting a bit of wisdom to a new waitress at the diner the other morning.

Young waitress: It seems like some people order the same thing every day.

Old waitress: Honey EVERYBODY orders the same thing everyday. About once every two weeks one of them will ask you for a menu. Then they're read it over and talk about how good everything looks, fold up the menu, hand it back to you, and order the same thing as usual. People aren't willing to risk the rest of the day on bad breakfast.

This of course occurred 10 minutes after asking for a menu, looking it over, commenting on how good everything look, folding it up, handing it back, and ordering the same thing as usual.
