Another instance of bar fog
This past wednesday, I was doing the cocktail area as usual. Towards the middle of my shift, I noticed a guy standing right outside our kitchen line. Usually this means that someone wants a waiter but they cant find him/her. He was roughly in his 50's. For some reason, he was wearing sunglasses inside. I start to utter "Can I help you?" when he interjects.
"Youre looking at me like youre gonna kill me."
"Uh, no. I was just wonder.."
"No man its ok, you just looked like you were gonna kill me"
This went on for about 5 min. He went off onto a tangent about how nice the people are in my restaurant and how he knows that I really had no hostile intent. Of course this was all worded differently. While speaking to him, I couldnt help but notice he was missing most of the teeth on the left side of his mouth. And the rest were either black or starting to go black. *shudders*
I eventually walked off while he was still talking, trying to make it as polite as possible. Later on in the night, he was at the bar mentioning something to the bartender then turned to me and claims that I am a good guy and that he knows me. I simply assume that hes drunk and continue on. A few minutes later, he comes into the kitchen and starts to talk to me.
"Dont you hate it when people call you fucking crazy?"
"Well no, to me its a compliment. I am fucking crazy."
"But doesnt it bother you that people peg you for something just by seeing you? I mean I know that youre a nice guy and all. I know you."
I muttered something then walked off again. The only way to end a conversation with this type of bar fog is to leave. There was one instance where this particular guy stayed so long, that he followed the bartender to her car and was talking to her as she was trying to leave the parking lot. These kinds of people dont seem to get offended if you just leave. They simply restart where the conversation left off the next time they see you. Even though I smelled alcohol on his breath, (he was 2 inches from my face) the bartender assured me that it was the second shot he has all night. All night in this case was 6 hours.
Moral: Some people are naturally drunk
