Okay... well that's unusual. I'd have asked to move to a different
section or asked to speak with the manager.

I worked with a server at O'Charley's who was a nut job. She tried to
bum cigarettes from people at one of her tables and sat down and told
them all about her sad sack life. She informed them she was taking
Xanax. Okay, that's just wrong. She would likely have thrown change
back at them but she didn't have the opporunity. She was immediately fired.
