You finish your order and take the white number card and stand you were issued and place it on your table as instructed. Noticing your number is "8" and mistakenly believing you are clever, you turn the number on its side so that it resembles the symbol for infinity.
Seeing the change in your number, the service clerk modifies your order accordingly.
You salivate as you see the burger and fries you requested being carried across the restaurant to your table.
"Infinity?" the server calls, pretending not to see your joke.
You raise your hand with a smirk. The server drops off your food and you begin to eat.
Before you're halfway through your burger, the server comes out of the kitchen carrying an identical order to yours, walks to the same spot she did before, and again calls out "Infinity?"
You timidly raise your hand with no small measure of confusion. The server walks casually to your table and drops the new burger and fries right on top of your half-emptied plate, smashing the food below.
"Hey!" you protest, but the server ignores you.
You decide it's not all that bad to get a fresh plate of the same shit you ordered and begin to eat the second burger when you hear
"Infinity?"
You don't raise your hand and instead sit quietly with your mouth agape. The server brings another fresh plate and drops it on top of the second. The new plate can't balance and slips into your lap.
"Hey what the fuck lady?" you shout, but are again ignored.
Before the server can even get back to the kitchen, another comes through the swinging doors carrying a burger and fries, shouts "Infinity?" and drops a plate in front of you. Another, different server does the same, then the first again. They reappear faster and faster, a chorus of "Infinity?" And clinking plates.
You become practically buried in plates and burgers; your pants are filled with spilled fries. You have a tomato sliding down your back and you feel the squish of mayonnaise in your shoes.
"Infinity?"
You cannot take any more. You muster every ounce of strength you can manage and run out the door screaming.
The first server appears in the doorway as you enter your car. "Infinity?" she shouts as you peel off into the night screaming.
