Karaoke, Alcohol, and Walmart

Date: 8/4/2016

I went to a restaurant. I was there as a guest of my friend Sarah who managed the place but I didn't see her. They had karaoke going and I was leaning on a cement wall that had dark oak beams weaves in and out of it. The chef came out: he was a young, white guy with brown hair and a ponytail. He asked me to help run the salads for this big party they had in the back. I said yeah and followed him to the back. The salads where in individual bowls and there were 17 of them to run. I was tying an apron on as the chef told me where to take them. I had to carry only 2 at a time. As I took my first 2, I noticed the salads looked like they had been sitting there for a while. The lettuce was wilted and weighted down by the dressing, which had already coagulated. I put the first 2 down, but there was no one at the party table: like they had all gotten up, and I realized they were all watching the karaoke. I went back to the kitchen And told the chef about the salads, as he was running out the next 2, and he said it's okay. I got the next 2, and it looked like chef tried to fluff up salad to make it look better, but you could see it was obvious and that he just got his finger and swished it around the dressing. It looked terrible. I ran the other 2 out and he was telling me that I put the salads down wrong, and to put them in order. I told him okay and on the way, I realized 3 other steps I could have done to make it better and exceed the average. When that was done my friend Sara was there and her, chef, and I went back to the wood cement wall to have a drink and talk story. I then realized I didn't know the place and was so embarrassed but then I saw it painted on the wall: BBVX. Then the chef told me it was his restaurant. We drank cocktails out of copper tin mugs, and the this couple wanted to sing karaoke: this Hispanic guy with really thick eyebrows and wearing an Aloha shirt with blue and white flowers and his wife who was really obese wearing a bathrobe. They started singing a duet (I forgot the words) and they were REALLY good and their harmony was perfect, but I started laughing and calling them out telling everybody that they practice together in the bathroom at home using karaoke songs on YouTube. I started getting drunk. Then it jumped to Walmart, where I was walking around, but Walmart only sold liquor and they were giving out samples in the middle of the day, like Costco, and there was a news crew. This news lady's with huge permed hair, a red dress, and she had this black waist belt that she pulled in so tight her waist looked like it was 8 inches around. She was interviewing this old, white lady with wrinkles around her mouth that worked there, about the huge ordeal that someone had complained to the city that Walmart was promoting drinking and driving because of the lunch samples they gave out. The lady lady said its nothing like that and the samples were only about the size of when you put mouthwash in a cap full. Then I got embarrassed because I realized that my breath stunk and I really needed to brush my teeth and started running across the parking lot before the news reporter could interview me.
