Once bitten, twice shy

It wasn't as busy as any other weekends. Quiet and mundane. Hmm. Probably easter is around the corner and kids having school break, people away for holidays?

Shits happened today. I was serving this couple, they had beers at the beginning, then a bottle of cabernet sauvignon during their main course. When i was screwing in, somehow felt something bad is going to happen. Yes, i was indeed right. Cork was broken. I was like.. "oh shittt.."

The couples were staring at me, of course they were not impressed.

My hands were shaking, not forgetting legs trembling like an octopus.

Thank god, my hero appeared at the right time. Yes, Mark.

At that point i was already thinking, uh oh there goes my 3 hours of pay. Too bad they don't practise the decanting method.

Speaking of my hero, he managed to pull out the remaining 1/4 of the cork. And stopped them from falling in. Bravo bravo.

Gosh, I wished i have at least half of his steadiness and you wouldn't know how scary it was especially manager was around. "observing".

Sigh. thank god nothing happened.

Hopefully that was once, and only once.
