Some customers like a month ago:

1) A very (wide-eyed) (middle-aged) (white) lady who slowly comes in the front door, asks if we're open and to look at a menu since she's never had (Thai) food before, and then eats by herself in a back corner.

She leaves a $20 tip.

2) An (early 50s) (white) lady with a forearm tattoo but oddly prim (Southern) manners, and a short curled coif, who is very firmly like, "Come back in ten minutes," when I go to initially ask for any drink and appetizer orders, and who like ten minutes later pushes the menus to the very edge of the table so that they're perfectly lined up there and very visible, when she and her friend were finally ready to order.

"I'm sorry," I was like to my one (sound guy) coworker, "But that's the type of woman who gives their child an eating disorder."

"Totally," he was like, and he said that back when he was in high school band there was this girl who everyone thought had bulimia, since she was pretty big but every once in a while would lose a ton of weight out of nowhere. So, everyone suspected an eating disorder.
