After that I really didn’t care what the rest of the customers thought. • (4) He was a 21-year-old in bule jeans and Nikes,eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties.Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table.

• (5) Our only problem was convincing him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished. He would hover in the background,shifting his weight from one foot to the other , scanning the dining room until a table was empty. Then he would hurry to the empty table and carefully bus the dishes and glasses onto the cart and meticulously wipe the table with a practiced flourish of his rag. If he thought a customer was watching, his brows would pucker with added concentration. He took pride in doing his job exactly right, and you had to love how hard he tried to please each and every person he met.
