30 Days: Day 12

A free caricature.

Ok, so I didn't draw it and I didn't learn any new skills, but this project isn't really about that. It's about new experiences and I had one.

Waiting tables can be boring, fun, or stressful depending on the situation. Secret shoppers can make a situation stressful, especially if you know that one comes to your restaurant every day. So when I saw a man secretly writing and putting down his pen whenever I walked up to the table, looking at me as if to judge me, and asking lots of questions, my brain went right to secret shopper. But then after presented with a flattering (I didn't know they did those) caricature of my likeness, I was pleasantly surprised, and a whole lot less self-conscious.

I was happy, until it turned out that the picture and a one dollar bill was my tip. Umm...I'd rather have more cash.
