I travel a lot in my work,
and one of the things I
dislike
about this part of my job is
eating alone.
It always makes me feel
lonely
to see others laughing and talking.
After
having room service
three
nights in a row at a Wyndham
H
otel
in Houston,
I
needed to get out.
Although the restaurant opened at 6:30
,
I arrived at 6:25.
The
maître
（领班）met me and
commented on
“
my really being there
e
arly.
”
I explained my dislike
of
e
ating alone in restaurants.
He then seated me at a lovely table and
handed me the menu,
“
You know,
”
he said,
“
People don
’
t usually start coming to our restaurant until after 7:00.
I
wondered if you
’
d mind if
I
sat down with you for a while.
”
I was delighted
!
He sat and talked with me about his hobbies.
After
about
15
m
inutes,
h
e spotted some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that
before he went to the front h
e stopped in the kitchen for a moment.
As my
new friend
went on to seat the arriving party,
one of the waiters came out of
the kitchen and
over
to my table.
“
My station is
way i
n the back this evening.
And I
’
m sure
no one will be seated there for a
while.
”
He said,
“
Do you mind if
I sit down with you for a
while
?”
We had a wonderful chat.
A
ft
er he
left
,
out came one of the young busboys（收盘
工
)
.
We h
ad great fu
n
talking about his
experiences
.
Before I left that night,
even the chef
had come out of the ki
tchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my check,
they all came over in a big group to my table and
presented me with
a red rose and said,
“
this w
as a nicest night we
’
ve never had in our
restaurant
”.
And I cried
!
What had begun as a lonely night ended as a
beautiful
e
xperience
—
for both
e
mploye
e
s and customer.
