Today, two women came in and they ordered a pizza to share. And then one of the women said "I'm famished, if I got a wedge salad, would you help me eat it?" The other woman frowned and somberly replied "Michael always ordered the wedge salad..." I stood there pen poised, absolutely speechless and wishing I had given this table to someone else. The first woman had a similar reaction but she quickly said, "Oh should we get something else?" And the other (I assume widowed) woman forced a smile and said "No, no. They are fond memories." Then, they both turned to look at me and I said, "Great! I'll go put that in for you." What does one say in a situation like that? Oof, an un-comfy corner if I've ever been in one. They ended up ordering another wedge salad later.

There should be a TV show about waiting tables. I really wish I knew the backstory about this dude. Ex-husband or bf? Deceased? Divorced? Tough break up? So much mystery behind the wedged salad. I think I'd respond with, "I think eating the wedged salad would a be way to eat your memories fondly".
HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Elise, I really hope I get you as a waiter one day.
I'm sure you will.
