Told a risky joke today...
There were multiple conversations I was involved in at once while my table was ordering appetizers. One of the ladies at the table said jokingly "you probably didn't get that!" It really did look like I wasn't paying much attention (I also very rarely write orders down.) but I repeated the whole 6 top order back to the table and they were really impressed. One guy said "wow, you actually listened! That's not a trait that men possess" I was still in BOH autopilot so I ended up with responding "I'll whip it out!" They loved it and we all laughed but a joke like that could have gone south real fast.... 640
