a slice of what?

After quitting the gas station, awhile back, I have now found employment at The Italian Joint. The IJ is great. The people are funny, laid back, and helpful. Short-dark-haired-cook did that thing where you put a glove over your face and blow it up. I still don't know his name, but having worked for nearly two weeks, I'm now embarrased to admit it and just ask him. What's even cooler is that they are all pretty tolerant of my 'omg i'm new and have no idea whats going on' moments. At the IJ, I'm serving, which is new to me. I've worked 'over counter' establishments, which is a nice businesslike way of saying 'would you like fries with that?". I've served on my own for three days, and I am doing fairly well, making at least 15% tips thus far. Not shabby, I think. I'm asking Waiter his opinion on the subject.

Here's a gem of a customer interaction.

Dame: "what can i get you to drink?"
Guy: "Bud lite, Senorita" he says charmingly.
Dame: "Senorita is Spanish, I think. Signora is Italian. The only other thing I can say in Italian is Vada Via, get lost. "

The subtlety was lost on him.

Equally amusing is that my name is the name of a very famous song, which has been so oversung to me that I am coming close to running out of witty retorts. Today's quip went well, or as well as it could.

"What, just the chorus? Can't you guys at least sing the verses?"

Stopped them dead. For about 8 seconds.
