A young waitress recalls her bizarre experience with a regular customer. The customer's mannerisms are routine, but that changed (and ended) that night.
I received the following account:
"Hi. I've been reading your site and thought that my story would interest you. One of my jobs, when I was young (18), was at a Coney-Island-style restaurant in my city. The restaurant was open 24/6, we closed at 3 am Sunday morning, re-opened at 6 am Monday morning, but stayed open all the time the rest of the week.
This particular thing happened at about 2:30 am on a Friday. I was the only waitress on shift and the owner was in the kitchen cooking. We were the only two people there.
At the time we had a regular I’ll call Max. Max was a barfly and a senior citizen. He would come in every night after the bar closed; he would have coffee, two eggs over-easy, and wheat toast. He ordered the same thing every time and every time his total came to $4.37. He’d give me $6 and tell me to keep the change.
So as I’m rolling silverware and waiting for our old pal Max I see a few emergency vehicles go down the main street towards the bar. Lights and sirens are on. About a minute later Max comes in, I get him coffee and ask him if he knows what’s going on. He just shook his head no. So I told my boss Max was there and my boss waved at him through the kitchen window and within 3 minutes Max’s order was up. He’s sitting at the counter and after a little while he slaps down some money and says, “Keep the change, honey” like he usually does, and walks out. I went over to cash out the check and the food hadn’t been touched, neither had the coffee, and there was a $100 bill on the counter. I was a teen mom and perpetually broke so that much money was basically life-changing at the time.
I saw in the paper on Sunday that Max had been involved in a fight at the bar that night and had been fatally injured." F
