But if the waiter hadn't been "fit", this would have been "ewww, creepy waiter hit on me", but I bet he hits on loads of girls

Well, have you? 1995 is now 26 years ago even though I'm pretty sure it was last month...

Used to take my Fiancée, our foster daughter and our daughter out to eat at a restaurant on a Saturday lunchtime when our daughter was just 7. We always had the same waiter who would sneak up on our daughter and make her jump by touching her shoulder and whispering "Ninjaaaaaaa!" One day he did it and his hearing aid fell on the table (didn't realize he was deaf) and he said to her "Wow! Are you a ninja? I can hardly hear you!" We always tipped him well and loved going there. One day he had gone. Our daughter was sad he was gone. We still go there. We tried a new place when our daughter was 13 and all of a sudden someone touched her shoulder and whispered "Ninjaaaaaaa!" He was the manager of the restaurant we went to! He also joked about gluing his hearing aid in these days. We still go to both places and still tip well. He made both places special.

Was with a few friends at this great bar. A SUPER drunk guy wandered in. The awesome bartender told the guy "Hey there..we are closed -you need to come back tomorrow". The drunk guy looks around at a PACKED bar and says "are you sure?" Bartender says "Yup, closed." Drunk guy says "Oh, ok" and leaves. The bartender RAKED in tips that night for that classy move.

Exchange student from Dublin was working as a barman in a pub in my hometown. I was sitting at the bar with my brother and a hockey game was on (Canadiens vs Maple Leafs) and the barman started chatting with us and ask what are the rules of hockey. We, jokingly, said: We have to put the puck in the net, everything goes until the final buzzer. He laugh and we spent the evening explaining the rules (written and unwritten) of the sport and watch him fall in love with hockey (fast-paced action, hitting, rivalry game etc). His reaction after a fight was priceless: Barman: So, they gonna get suspended right ? Me: Nope. It's a 5 minute major penalty and they get out. Barman: Like at the same time ? Won't they fight again ? Me: Nope. That's the hockey code. The fight ends the bad blood between the two players is over. After the game, he finished his shift and joined us at the bar and explained hurling to us... which sounds awesome !

My aunt had an American visitor once, so she took him to a hurling match, as you do. He sat and watched the teams run up and down the pitch for about 15 minutes before suddenly exclaiming "Oh! There's a BALL!".
