We were greeted at the door warmly and seated right away. About 3 minutes go by when a waitress comes over and says hello and takes our drink orders, 3 regular and 1 diet Coke.
She comes back right away and drops down the drinks. I say that we are ready to order and she looks puzzled. "Well I'm leaving for the day but I'll take your orders for Mike", she says. "He just came in and will be your waiter", she followed. "Besides, he's better than me" she said and off she went. That was a strange thing to say I thought.
Our salads were delivered by the food runner and we started to eat. Then a male waiter stopped by after a few minutes and asked if everything was ok. Was this Mike? Or Henry? I'll never know since "Mike" never introduced himself.
This "Mike impostor guy" looked over our table for the rest of our stay but never asked anyone other than my wife "Is there anything else I can get for you"? "Did you enjoy your meal"? "Would you like to see our desert menu"?
I gotta watch this "Mike impostor"...

I've always believed that if you take the order, you take the table. I don't introduce myself to my tables unless they ask. It is against corporate spec and I don't trust that I will be able to resist punching the next guest who says, "Hi David, I'm John and I will be your guest."
