Have you ever waited on anyone famous?

I waited on Bob Seeger one time. You should have heard the conversation he was having with his kids. They were all talking about how they had gone to Canada or something to see polar bears. I was like "God damn, I wish I was Bob Seegers kid." At least they didn't dump the sugar caddy out or spill food on the floor, then I would've had to shittalk about how shitty they were. But they weren't. So I can't.



Oh, and he left a 20 dollar tip too, so he's cool in my book.

i haven't waited on anyone famous, but once i was checked in on a flight by mr. brad pitts.

well I've never waited in anyone, but while working at the bookstore I had to help Avril Lavine find magic books. She didn't like the ones we had so she bought "No Logo" with me at my cash. she had some body gaurd with her and had her hood on with sun glasses. I'm not a fan

I've never been a waiter or worked in sales but I've hung out with a couple of famous people.

I gave Huey Lewis directions to Starbucks. That's about it.

Susan Sarandon

gunnar hansen (leatheface) came into the bar one night about 4 years ago. i bet his signed glossy is still there--its of leatherface not as himself.
btw he drank madrases--letdown

Don Ho is the fucking man.

I have been waiting my whole life for Trent Reznor.

no but i did see brian mcknight and his wife/gf get to bypass every single line in walt disney world

neil young grabbed a soup and sandwhich at my coffee shop... he was killer... all dressed down in flannel and what not, there were only like three of us in the whole shop that realized it was him.. super nice.

Um. . .Mel Brooks at a convenience store, marth stewart, and Itzhak Perlman at a deli, oh, the dude from the b52's at that deli too. I also cleaned Billy Squier's pool, and sara jessica parker's pool, but I never actually met her.

I never have, but my mom's a bartender and she's served Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney when they were filming "The Perfect Storm" in my hometown of Gloucester, MA. Adrock from the Beastie Boys and his father, Israel Horovitz, go into her work all the time also, and so does Blythe Danner. I guess Whoopi Goldberg goes in sometimes too, she lives in Gloucester now, but my mom's never met her.

I have bartended for:
Winona (tiny) Ryder
Chloe Sevigny (bleh)
Natasha Lyonne (wasted)
Famke Janssen (wow)
Fariuza Balk (creepy, shy)
some others, too...

I worked at a 24 restaurant that was 10 minutes, and the first exit off the highway from the local amphitheatre. Usually the "stars" sit in the tour bus and other people come in and order for them. But one night I waited on the Alkaline Trio and some of their crew. They were all super kickass and awesome. I don't remember what they tipped me, so it must not have been bad.

i waited on reggie white (who passed away last saturday and used to play for the Packers), robert parish (of boston celtics fame- "the chief"), and pat dye (retired college football coach--Auburn University).

Thats about it. Just sports people. Prolly waited on other people famous, but just didnt give a shit. Parish has hands as big as my torso. Freakishly large. Seriously.

**oh and i worked at a restaurant at the beach one summer where lee renaldo from sonic youth ate sometimes. never got to wait on him, though.

Richard Dryfus, Brady, and some other guy who I didn't know was anyone famous.
I think he was one of Zappa's kids.. Dweasel?

I waited on Newt Gingritch (so nice you couldn't even tell he was the antichrist) and Reggie Jackson (quiet).

And I was a busser at James Brown's Grandaughter's graduation. They left about six half-drunk bottles of Dom that me and my fellow bussers drank in my car.

be well,

I used to have a part time job at the academy in Manchester England, No Doubt were playing one night the bloke that was ment to be looking after them for the day never showed up so I got asked to take Gwen Stefani and the bass player out for something to eat, I ended up taking them to pizza hut that's my only clame to fame and I could have waited on her all day -swoons-

Carrottop's "people" bought a whole lot of watermelons from the store I work at a few years ago. At least i think it was Carrottop--some commedian at any rate. They went through the checkout lane next to mine.

De La Soul counts! Hell, yes!

I've waited on a bunch of famous people, but my favorite was Ted Levine -- Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. I kept saying, "I'd fuck me," in that voice, or "I'd serve me wine. I'd serve me wine so hard . . . and none of my coworkers recognized him, so they didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.

Forest Whitaker is really mellow and laid-back, Patrick Stewart is very smiley and polite. I thought Gwyneth Paltrow was very nice, but her father was pretty much an asshole, so she was doing the embarrased and over-compensating thing.

Back when Public Enemy was touring off of the "Fight the Power" single, me and a buddy convinced the restaraunt we worked for to let P.E. come in on an off night and we'd serve them dinner instead of them eating at some crappy restaraunt on their crappy per-diem. I met Chuck, Flavor Flav, the S1-Ws, Malik Farrakahn; the only cat I didn't meet was Terminator X.

watermelons sound like Gallagher's M.O.

My sister waited on Morcambe and Wise once.
I win.
