Host
From left: Zsolt, Myself, Steve, Gill, JP, Sarah, Simon, Vanessa. What a team.
In TGI Fridays there are several things we enjoy; good food, a friendly atmosphere, and a top quality laugh.
The only thing I can't stand are balloons popping behind my head.... something my dear manager Darren seemed to forget one supposedly normal evening. The surprise explosion in my ears was almost trouser changing, nothing quite in comparison to some of the scares and surprises he'd given me before. This was something different. This called for vengeance.
A charming guest named Steve had witnessed my torment and commented in amusement. Having built a fantastic guest rapport with him earlier in the evening, I knew he could handle the jokes we at TGI's frequently have, but what he said next really surprised me. I believe the exact words of this conversation are as follows:
Steve: "Do you want to get him back?"
Zac: "...I'm listening."
Steve then proceeded to lay out the finer details of his ingenious plan to me, and we roped in two other members of the Friday's team; Vanessa and Zsolt. After lights and camera were ready, we decided it was time for action. With the stage set I approached Darren with the 'complaint' ;) from Table 41 of loud noises - the balloon incident - with some West End-quality acting. The look on Darren's face during his totally sincere apology was, for lack of a better word, priceless. But what really stole the show was the fantastic performance by none other than Steve, of Table 41. Even though we constructed the plan together, he almost convinced me. However it was not to last... eventually the Table, the colleagues and I could no longer contain our amusement as we witnessed Darren's discomfort, and erupted in bursts of laughter and cheers. Finally, we had got one up on Darren!
So tonight, I give hearty thanks for his brilliant involvement to:
Steve
Simon
Sarah
JP
Gill
Becca
...The Legends of Table 41.
