OG in NY. If a table doesn't finish their bottle of wine, they can take it home in a sealed bag. Someone I worked with did this a couple years ago.8yr ⋅ RedditorDave ⋅ r/TalesFromYourServer

3 guys sat with me a few weeks ago. We discover that we went to the same high school, 4 years apart. They were really cool guys. I drop their check and they ask me to pick a number 1-10, but wouldn't tell me why. I picked 8. They paid their $55 check by card, then left, & left this on the table.11yr ⋅ ddeevv ⋅ r/TalesFromYourServer
