One-Liner Wednesday – True Story

36 Comments

I’d just finished dining alone when the waiter came to clear my table and ask me if I was ready to pay.

“Will that be all on one bill?” he asked.

Now, to be fair, it’s common practice in Canada when two people are dining together to ask them if they want two separate bills, so he must have been asking out of habit. However, it was all I could do to resist saying, “No, split it down the middle. My imaginary friend will pay half after I leave.”

  4. It’s common practice here in the States too for waiters/waitresses to ask a party of two or more whether the bill will be split. But for a party of one…did you ask the waiter whether HE saw someone else sitting there? That’s what I might have done. :>

  18. That’s funny, Linda. Reminds me of when you order a 12 piece bucket of fried chicken at the counter, and they ask if you are dining in, or want it “to go” ???? ☺

  19. That’s funny, Linda. Unless he could see someone else at the table. You know, the way your dog looks behind you and barks, but there’s no one there…or is there ???
