Someone I met today is a waitress.

She works at a place I already frequent. I could tell she was new as she interacted with us. At this restaurant, it's customary to offer damp, lavender-scented hand towels to wipe your hands. She gave them to us, but forgot to collect them when we were done.

For all of lunch, we sat, with wet basahan on our table. Basahan is rag in Tagalog. I use basahan to wipe stuff on the table... Which is what I did as a reflex since it was left there. I felt bad because the lavender scent now smelled like katsu, and I'm pretty sure they had to wash it.

Oops.
