The Waitress Asked Me to Pay Upfront—Unaware That I Own the Restaurant

Gathering The Guests

That evening, I carefully curated a diverse group of guests, subtly encouraging them to try our new surprise dishes. As they settled in, Emma moved confidently through the room, her cunning tricks on full display. Once again, she insisted on upfront payments, her sharp eyes scanning for anyone who appeared uncertain. Though I maintained a calm and casual demeanor, my mind was meticulously cataloging her every move. Unbeknownst to her, she had become the unwitting subject of my carefully laid plan.

Suspicions Confirmed

As I observed Emma, my earlier suspicion began to solidify. Her actions weren’t accidental or spontaneous—they felt calculated, almost like a carefully rehearsed performance. Emma chose her targets deliberately, employing her usual condescending tactics with precision. It was evident she was oblivious to how her so-called “policy” was only exacerbating the situation. By now, it was clear that something had to change. Emma was about to face the repercussions of her decisions.
