Waitress Stunned After Three Men Ask To Settle Their Bill In Private
For some bar service staff, checking out the final bill can be a small source of anxiety. After all, your financial well-being depends on how much money customers leave behind as a tip! That's why Ashley Latella felt her stomach drop when three strange male patrons asked to settle their bill away from the prying eyes of other guests. She never could've predicted the aftermath.
Uncertainty
While bartending at the Seagrape Cafe, Ashley Latella felt uneasy when she first saw the three men enter. It was just a gut feeling. They were much older than the usual college student crowd. She knew she had a job to do, though, and went over to grab their order.
Seasonal buzz
At first, she attributed her nerves to stress. It was the holiday season, after all, and college students in Fairfield, Connecticut, were letting loose after a long semester, and the Seagrape Cafe was a self-proclaimed "college kid's meeting place." As the night wore on, though, Ashley realized her uneasiness was about more than seasonal nerves.
Bartender's perspective
For the most part, the three customers' ages were what stood out in the sea of kids. But they put in order after order, and Ashley noticed they seemed to keep a close watch on her. Were they going to dine-and-dash? There wasn't an age limit on that possibility.
Table shuffle
What unnerved Ashley, even more, was what these three older customers did when she approached them. Their conversation suddenly went quiet — were they talking about her? With the other tables, she tried not to worry about the men. She didn't have time to dwell on their behavior. Others in the cafe noticed them, too.
