STICK WITH THE USUAL FAVORITES
Abbi
Thursday nights are always busy at Moo U’s favorite bar and grill. By nine
o’clock, I’ve been hustling burgers and wings for eight hours. But my apron
pocket is full of tip money, so I can’t really complain.
I have one party that just sat down, though—three women about my age
wearing matching hockey jackets. “Welcome to The Biscuit in the Basket.”
I pull out my order pad. “The special salad tonight has spinach greens,
apple slices, and a warm bacon vinaigrette. The special wings are Cranberry
Almond.”
“Did you say Cranberry Almond?” one of the girls asks, lifting one
eyebrow as if she doesn’t believe me.
“You heard correctly.” I lean a little closer and whisper. “Nobody likes
them. Stick with the usual favorites.”
“Got it,” she says with a smile. “I’d like a half dozen of the Honey
Garlic wings, in a basket with fries.”
“Wait—what are the flavors again?” one girl asks.
I could rattle them off in my sleep. “We’ve got Honey Mustard, Honey
Garlic, Tikka, Thai spiced, General Tso’s, Chili Bacon, Chicken Parm, and
—of course—Buffalo style in mild, hot, or wild.”
And that’s just the regular menu. The chef does a special flavor every
week. Whiskey Maple is always a winner. Teriyaki is pretty good. But this
week’s special has been a disaster. Making a Thanksgiving-themed recipe
was a nice idea, but I can’t give away the Cranberry Almond wings. Not for
love or money.
The other two girls make their choices, and I rush the order to the
kitchen before it closes. Then I take up a position leaning against the nearly
empty bar with my friend Carly, who’s also on shift. She worked the bar
tonight, while my section was in the dining room.
“We survived another one,” she says, passing me one of the mints she
keeps in her pocket. “What was your best tip of the night?”
“Depends how you look at it,” I tell her. “A six-top tipped me fifty
bucks. But my history professor tipped me fifteen bucks, and warned me to
look over the Articles of Confederation before tomorrow’s quiz.”
“He gave you a clue?” Carly looks scandalized. “And a fat tip? I think
he wants your body.”
“Think again.” I give her a smile. “He was here with his husband and
their baby. I think he just felt bad that I was serving his dinner while the rest
of my classmates are studying at the library.”
And the man has a point. I work a lot of hours, and I go to school full
time. There’s no time for anything else. But that’s just the way it is.
“Fine, fine. So he’s not going to be your new boyfriend.” Carly drops
her voice. “Besides, I know you only have eyes for that crew over there.”
My glance jumps involuntarily to table number seventeen. She’s not
wrong. Who wouldn’t be interested in an entire table full of sizzling-hot
hockey players? “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Uh-huh,” Carly says, eyeing them. Then she lets out a little sigh of
yearning. “More for me then.”
“You wish,” I tease.
“You bet I do, Stoddard. Let’s face it, table seventeen is the best thing
about working here.”
