10 signs your waiter is also a performer at Cirque de Soleil
If you see any of this behavior from your waiter, you can be sure he also works at Cirque de Soleil.
- Instead of walking to your table, they tightrope walk across a thin line suspended from the ceiling.
- They don’t hand you the menu; they juggle it along with salt shakers and a bottle of ketchup before it gracefully lands in front of you.
- When you ask for a refill, they acrobatically swing from a trapeze to fetch your drink.
- They don’t wear the usual waiter attire. Instead, they’re decked out in a glittering, feathered costume that would make a peacock jealous.
- When you ask for the check, they fold it into an origami bird and make it fly to your table.
- They can balance a tray of drinks, a stack of plates, and a basket of breadsticks – all while standing on one leg.
- When a child at the table drops a toy, they retrieve it with a dramatic contortionist move, bending backward until their hands touch the ground.
- They don’t sing “Happy Birthday.” Instead, they perform a mesmerizing ribbon dance around the birthday guest.
- When someone spills a drink, they don’t just clean it up. They turn it into a splashy interpretive dance.
- At the end of your meal, they don’t say goodbye. Instead, they disappear in a puff of smoke, only to reappear at the entrance to bid you farewell.
