Houston's Missed Connections: Love served with cheese and whine

It was a good week for our uniformed friends in the food service industry in Missed Connections, although one bitter poster apparently doesn't believe waiters are capable of love/sobriety. We hate to think of the circumstances that would cause someone to make that kind of sweeping generalization. Obviously other people disagree:

Lindsay from Surfer's Paradise

Looking for Lindsay that was a smokin hot blonde waitress (could be a twin of Reese Witherspoon) that use to work at the now closed Surfer's Paradise in the Marq-E center on I-10. Did get your phone #, but shortly after, I got a new phone, and the number was never transfered over.

We like how the poster passively writes "the number was never transfered over," as if we can't read between the lines and deduce he just never punched Lindsay's digits into his new cell and clicked "save." Honesty has always been the best policy where love is concerned.

Waiter...

You were the cutest waiter today.... actually kind of hot. Do you like working at Chilis? You have very beautiful eyes...

This missed connection is just how we like them: short and curiously random. Look, we can appreciate when a misser shows an interest in a missee's personal life. But what kind of question is "Do you like working at Chilis?" I mean, that's great if he does, we just imagine it is the sort of job most people put up with as they pay college tuition and wait for their physics degrees. Not that being the cutest waiter at Chilis is an accomplishment to scoff at.
