Do you ever feel like all the best quotes on television are from Doctor Who? Well, one imaginative table server from the Olive Garden decided to brighten up his day Doctor Who style.

I’ve worked retail. After awhile, you’re something of an automaton. You put on a perky smile and say, “Have a nice day” to each customer. By the end of the day, you’re far less perky, and mumbling something akin to “hvnicday”. The brutal reality is that you don’t give a rat’s ass if the customer has a nice day or not. If they get into a fender bender in the parking lot five minutes later, what’s it to you?

Now, if you are a restaurant server on the other hand, you have to bring your A-game every day if you want tips. There’s no phoning it in. You better know that menu, be quick on your feet, and be attentive. Generally, the better your personality, the better your tips. If you can come off as sincere, pleasant, and make the customers laugh a bit, you’re probably getting a hefty reward come check time. This is especially true in chain restaurants. A lot of folks are going there because they are on a budget and being “big tipper” isn’t that commonplace.

Meet Taylor, who according to his Tumblr page strangeronbakerstreet, has decided to liven up his serving routine at his local Olive Garden by interspersing his chatter with patrons with Doctor Who dialogue.

For example, Taylor claims he recently did the following:

[When speaking to a baby playfully aka fishing for tips] “Oh hello! I speak baby, you know.” [baby does baby thing] “No, he’s your dad you can’t just call him ‘not mum’”

I’m met with a roar of laughter from the table, and the neighboring table, an extra 10 dollars added to my tip.

[Offering desserts (to the kids)] “You could have a slice of Triple Chocolate Strada for only $6.99 which I personally think is a bit steep. But then again, it’s your parent’s cash and they’ll only waste it on boring stuff like lamps and vegetables. Yawn!”

I actually sold every table the dessert I offered when I offered it this way.

Needless to say, after keeping this up for an entire night, he cashed out in a big way. You can read the whole tale on his Tumblr.

Perhaps I should try this on Hypable founder Andrew Sims, who amazingly hasn’t watched Doctor Who. We have a Hypable staff meeting next week. When he asks for input, I’ll follow up with, “Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!” As we talk about our Comic-Con coverage and plan for next year I could kiss ass and say, ” I just want to tell you: you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I.” Best yet when he asks for what I think of whatever new idea he has I’ll state perkily, “Sometimes—very rarely—impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.”
