Reservations
Published Jan 01, 1900

On vacation in Hawaii, my mom called a cafe' to make reservations for 7 P.M. Checking her book, the cheery hostess said, "I'm sorry, but all we have is 6:45. Would you like that?"
"That's fine," Mom said.
"Okay," the woman confirmed. Then she added, "Just be advised that you may have to wait 15 minutes for your table."
