Out To Eat

We were out to eat tonight, at a local steak place. It hasn't been in business too long and apparently didn't have as much business as it did tonight, for whatever reason.

The waitress was very apologetic for various things and said they hadn't had a crowd like this before. She might've heard someone talking about it, one of the bosses, because she didn't seem like she'd been there that long.

They were very anxious. She said the cooks were stressed. I could picture them back there trying to cook meals over a candle or something, as long as it seemed to take. But in the end it wasn't really all that long and we weren't mad or anything.

It made me feel a little anxious, though, to know they were all anxious.
