Jessie started her waitressing job at the local restaurant on her first day, and she was already facing an unusual assignment. “Okay, Jessie, since you’re the new girl around here, you’ll have to take table 13,” her co-worker Mark informed her as she adjusted her apron.
The restaurant was most crowded during lunch hours, and Jessie had taken mental notes about her customers to make a good impression. But when she turned towards table 13, a sense of foreboding washed over her.
Her fellow server Mark noticed her reaction and warned her, “Be prepared; that’s Mr. Norton. He’s known to be difficult. None of us like to serve him.”
