Eighty-Six the Waitress.  Time to exit.  Time to say goodbye to making Manhattans for Tom and carrying five plates of food and getting people another order of grilled pita and telling them the “specials” which have been the same for ten years and being nice to Low-blood-sugar Lady and Entitled Mom and knowing that that person likes extra cheese with his pasta and that person likes lemon slices and a straw and Sweet n’ Low with his water and she always gets shiraz and he gets a Dewars with a splash of water and yes, we know it’s really cold in here, the vents of the open kitchen suck up all the heat and yes, we know it’s really cold right here, the main air conditioning vent comes out over this table, and yes we know it’s really warm in here, the air conditioning isn’t working properly and no, we don’t do any substitutions for the rice and greens except either more rice or more greens and no we aren’t a byob and no we don’t do a corkage fee, and yes, we take credit cards at this location and sorry, we don’t take Discover and thank you so much have a great night!  Good night!  Thank you!  Good night!  Take care!  Thanks so much!  Have a good one!  Stay warm!  Stay cool!  Be safe getting home!  See you soon!  Have a great holiday!  Great to see you folks!  Great to see you guys!  Be well!  Thanks - you too!  Take care!  Buh-bye!
