Another server nightmare

I was working at a Denny's. The old location closed so this was a new location. The whole dream was just dealing with this one table. It started out with one person but ended up being about 6 people. I took their order and write it down in my book. When I went to ring it up at the computer, another server (waitress) closed my book as a joke, but then I couldn't find the order again. I looked all through my book and just couldn't find it. I remembered one was a cheese burger and a drink that was blue, red and white tia Maria. (Not a real thing lol) so I went back like an ass and had to retake the order. Then when I was trying to ring it up. You had to enter the table number then the server number to start a new order. But every time I tried, it wouldn't enter the numbers correctly. I tried and tried and it just wouldn't work. I finally got it to work on the third computer I tried. I got the bartender to make the drink and got it to them. Then they changed the cheeseburger to a fish sandwich. So I had to hunt down the manager to get the order fixed. As I was with the manager at the computer to fix the order I looked out the window and saw some black guys pointing a gun at another black guys head (I assumed it was a gang thing) I ducked and saw a customer that was sitting by that window was ducked behind the counter also. A shot went off but nobody else seemed to notice and I just went back to work like nothing had happened. Then a group of black guys came in and I assumed it was the same guys. I was wondering if me or someone should call the cops, but for some reason nobody did. I think I was too scared that they would know it was me if I did. I saw some cops talking to the hostess and hoped they were there to get the guys, but u never saw them leave the hostess stand. The table I was dealing with was ready to go after I got the kid some soup and a few other drinks, water and apple juice. I noticed some drinks on their ticket that I hadn't rang up and asked them about it, but they had gone to the bar to get the other drinks, so it was correct. The guy gave me his credit card to pay. Once again, I couldn't get the computer to cooperate. After trying multiple computers, I got it to work. So I got the bartender to make me a margarita and gave it to them for free along with the tia Maria drink to make up for everything taking so long. They seemed fine and not upset. Even though he paid with a credit card, I brought him back $10 in change. Then I woke up.
