Back in the day, in roleplays I made Shadow have a job as a waiter at an Italian restaurant. I randomly remembered that, so I thought it would be fun to draw. Isn't that the friendly face you want serving your pasta? XD The only tips he would get were from his boss to start getting orders right and remembering to show up to work before he got fired. ...But he did get fired since I forgot to show up for an entire month. ----- And now... for some random scenarios I'm making up on the spot, because why not? Shadow: *Goes to a table that's finishing up their meal and says nothing.* Customer 1: ...Can I help you? Shadow: Just waiting. Customer 1: For? Shadow: A tip. Customer 1: Oh. Well my food was a bit bland. Maybe give it more flavor next time. Shadow: I'm the server, not the chef. Customer 1: Then serve it better next time? Shadow: ...I'm still waiting. Customer 1: I'm not giving you any money. Shadow: *Fake sigh.* How can anyone ever save any money for their children's college funds on the mediocre salary my boss pays? Customer 1: Oh you poor thing. I suppose I may have something. *Gives him $20.* Shadow: Sweet. Marco (that was the name of his boss): *Comes over.* Shadow! What do you think you are doing? *Takes the $20 and pockets it.* We do not lie to our customers. Shadow: You mean like how we advertise that our meatballs are 100% real meat? Marco: He doesn't mean that! ...In my office, now. This is strike one. --- *Later.* Shadow: *Walks into work 5 hours late.* Marco: Shadow, you're late! Where have you been? You missed the lunch rush! Shadow: Oh good, that's what I was hoping for. Marco: *Sigh.* I don't have time to argue right now, the dinner rush is starting. Shadow: Then call me back when it's over. *Walks out.* Marco: Strike two! --- Shadow: Bon appetit. *Plops down a plate in front of Customer 3.* Marco: *From his office.* This is an Italian restaurant, not French! Shadow: Fine, don't enjoy your meal. *Mumbling to himself and walking away.* I try to be polite one time... Customer 3: Wait, excuse me? I ordered pasta with sauce. Shadow: And? Customer 3: There's no sauce on mine. Shadow: So? Customer 3: So, I expect you to fix my order. Shadow: You really shouldn't have such high expectations, because you're going to be sadly disappointed when you find out I'm not fixing it. Customer 3: Haven't you heard the phrase "the customer is always right"? Shadow: Haven't you heard the phrase "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit"? Marco: *Comes up behind him.* Haven't you heard the phrase "three strikes and you're out"? Shadow: Ugh... I'll get your sauce... --- That's all I got, and that's probably the closest thing you people are getting to a story. *Sonic Boom Villager gasp.* You people! Anyways... Hope someone got a laugh out of this.
