The other day at work one of the hostesses, P., had a totally Twin Peaks experience. It was lunchtime, right around noon, when this woman stumbled into the foyer yelling, “EARLIEST SEATING!” P. braced herself as the woman approached her. She leaned in approximately 12 inches from P.’s face and repeated, “EARLIEST SEATING!”
P. did her best to keep her composure, and since we were on a wait, asked the lady in her face for her last name. “EARLIEST SEATING!,” the crazy lady bizarrely replied in a booming voice. P., who should be given an award for what she says next goes, “How do you spell that?” (!) The woman finally said something else by stammering “WILLIS, 2, EARLIEST SEATING!” P. informed her of the 20 minute wait, at which time Earliest Seating turned on her heels and marched out the front door.
P. said she was pretty sure she’d just had an LSD flashback.
