A Story by Abishai100

An unusual waiter named Satan, at an Italian eatery on the East Coast, creates a special celebrity-guest event experience with his brand of 'dollar' magic.

A story of consumerism, restaurants, an 'unusual' waiter (like an elf!), and civilization...distancing.

Welcome to an iconic Italian restaurant on the East Coast. It's where you might find excellent dining experience and a terrific staff ready to tend to your interests in creating a nice night-out on a particular weekend for satisfying Italian-cuisine (food/drink) and wine, by yourself or with others. Italian cuisine has after all become a sociocultural 'standard' in Western civilization!

At this special Italian restaurant on the East Coast, business is slow on a special Sunday afternoon as guests are simply enjoying a nice post-lunchtime meal which may include some wine, pasta, seafood, or sandwiches. The menu is reasonably priced though admittedly somewhat on the high-end for this 'brand' of finer Italian restaurant chain-type establishment. Therefore it's not packed and serves as the arena for our little tale about an unusual restaurant-waiter named Satan.

AMLAN SATAN (Restaurant-Waiter): My ultimate 'vision' is to ensure a healthy/standard dining experience on any given Sunday.

That Sunday afternoon/early-evening, a certain pair of customers happen to be media-celebrities traveling from the West Coast and seeking to enjoy a nice Italian restaurant eating-drinking experience but wish not to be exposed/marketed as special 'celebrity-guests' at this East Coast Italian restaurant. They begin by ordering mushrooms/clams and calamari with wine, and Satan (Amlan) serves as their special waiter, given his extraordinary experience, handsome demeanor, popularity, and offbeat charms. Satan respects the privacy-wishes of the celebrity-customers/guests at the Italian restaurant and asks them about their dish/drink satisfaction as they enjoy it/them!

AMLAN SATAN (Restaurant Waiter): I've been a waiter at this iconic Italian restaurant, and what I seek is personal scaling!

'Personal Scaling' (PC) is what this unusual waiter Satan (Amlan) always thinks/talks about while working at this iconic/popular Italian eatery-restaurant on the East Coast! PC (Personal Scaling) is what makes Satan (Amlan) the waiter intrigued by the notion of customer/traffic-based labor-experience and education development regarding capitalism-hospitality. PC (Personal Scaling) is what Satan the waiter contemplates as he works with the various kinds of traffic/customers at the Italian restaurant on the East Coast to develop a unique brand of personality-duality presentation for the idea of 'derived' diplomacy. PC (Personal Scaling) imagination is what helps Satan the waiter come up with an offbeat-charm 'dual-personality' waiter-identity for entertaining the customers at the Italian restaurant!

The two celebrity-guests at the Italian restaurant that Sunday afternoon/early-evening continue to enjoy their private and personal buddy-eating/drinking experience and order more wine with their main-dish of pasta and sauce and clams. They compliment Satan (Amlan) the waiter for the satisfying eating-drinking experience at that time and enjoy Satan's unusual service-personality and method, as he entertains their simple interest to seek a 'normal' or satisfying restaurant visit-experience.

The wait-staff that Sunday at the fine/iconic Italian restaurant is quite prepared and works as usual/expected to deliver the guests the right kind of service, which it's reputed to be trained to do at this business; on a normal busy working weekend-day/night, this Italian restaurant wait-staff is customarily expected to be top-notch and prepared for a very busy or unusual work-day/experience.

The two celebrity-guests at the Italian restaurant that Sunday afternoon/early-evening are special cinema-stars who're appearing in a new East Coast film about racism and seek a normal/sane Italian restaurant eating/experience before their extraordinary filming mission/task. It's also why they consider their service-experience from Satan (Amlan) the waiter a pleasing time, since he keeps joking to them when he visits their table that Sunday, "Aren't you two media dummies?"

The next month, Satan the waiter is involved in a high-profile media lawsuit involving the two same media-celebrities who'd visited that Italian restaurant that Sunday afternoon/early-evening, as he's literally suing the two celebrity-guests for bringing 'narcotics' into the restaurant. Satan loses the case, which has no real evidence offered to the judge/press, and afterwards apologizes to the two defendants, the frustrated media-celebrities, and explains to them that he 'faked' this entire lawsuit for a media-presentation of funny proportion simply to help the two cinema-stars 'hype' their racism-film in the public, with some extra 'spice' of social gossip!
