TACOMA, WA — Local waiter Jesse Carter flipped a coin Wednesday night to determine if he was going to go check on his patrons every five minutes or take their orders and never come back to their table ever again.
"Let's see," Carter said to himself. "Heads, I go over every couple of minutes with a creepy smile on my face, ask them how they're enjoying their meal, and make it seem like I'm trying to become their friend. Tails, I never look at their table again and only pop by at the end to collect the bill and my tip."
Witnesses said that they witnessed Carter talking to himself in the back room of the restaurant before flipping the coin and reacting with a pleased expression.
"I don't know what the outcome of the coin toss was or what he was trying to decide on," commented diner Richard Maris, "But I do know he kept coming over to our table to fill our water cups every time we took a sip from them. I sort of wished he'd have left us alone like he did to the table next to us. He only went to them once just to give them their food. It's almost like there's a 50-50 chance of one or the other."
Carter admitted it's sort of the way most waiters figure out how they're going to interact with the patrons at their restaurants. "There's really no rhyme or reason to it," he said. "And there's no in between for us. It's all or nothing."
At publishing time, a diner who had asked Carter for ketchup was reportedly still waiting for it three hours later.
