well i can't believe it happened AGAIN! the crazyness of sunday's at poncho and lefty's has returned to seek revenge on me. black friday was pretty hellish since people were up and about before usual and hurried to ponchos to find hot fajitas and cold beer before hitting up some more stores. sunday was more like deja vu of last year.
erica and i have always referenced "that one sunday" as a day in history. there was a basketball tournament and the groups flowed in like no other. today i was more prepared and less surprised. we usually have 5 waitresses and one wasn't coming so we thought we would be fine; i mean it was a sunday! brooke told me we had a reservation for 18 at 1:00 and i used every free table in the back to make it. half an hour later a lady comes in and says we have 18, did you call?, no, (oh shit) how long until your all here? about 5 min...can we put up a sign? me: oooooooookkkay.
amazingly we fit in this other 18 who did not have a little sign , but one big ass sign! which they left outside the door for all the customers to see. heather erickson set a new record for diving. Mo their watiress comes to the table to get her order: "what can i get you?"......"this is heather she just set a new record for diving!!!"......"okay - what can i get you?". then they brought the sign inside and put it by the table just in case we were confused.
after the first 18 the next group had 11 which later became 15 and had to be skattered in the back. then after they were sat (no frickin way) a 13 comes. oh seriously where the hell are we supposed to put you?! can't you have fewer friends? and yet we are amazing so we make it happen. then the second 18 shows up and i'm ready to call it a day! maximum capacity meant nothing to us. just another one of those sunday's.
