Michael was a whisky man most days. JD on the rocks primarily. He'd switch to vodka occasionally when the suits weren't selling. His buddy would have a Bloody Mary ALWAYS. Damn if I can't remember his name, I only remember that he would talk about shaving. He was proud of his beardline, probably not his belly. Michael was a cool mother fucker. Looked like a mix between Daryl Hall, the 1983 version, and Jack Nicholson's Joker. Once, I was wearing a name tag that said "Cott" on it. Thought it was funny so I wore it anyway. When he first saw it, he smirked and without missing a beat said "The S is silent."
That was one of the better parts of the job. I would even drop lunch off in their back room / office space that always had an open bottle of wine and about one hundred pairs of $60 socks. They would wash the dishes themselves then drop them off IN THE KITCHEN. Just walk through the swinging doors and bam - no problem. Remember the heavy-set bald southern gentlemen who used to dress like Don Cherry humped Elton John? He, was a precious snowflake.

Remember the heavy bald white man who used to dress like Don Cherry fucked Elton John? He was a unique little snowflake wasn't he? -Dude, I just laughed a whole lot. Of course I remember him. He had a pretty thick southern accent and he sold me my first suit. It was $300 and to me that was a shit-ton of money. I wanted to buy it from Michael but he wasn't in that day. I remember showing it later to Michael and telling him how much I paid for it. He didn't have to tell me, his face said it all... I paid too much. I would have washed Michaels dishes for him, he was definitely a cool cat. Fat Don Cherry should have washed all our dishes.
Remember the weird Romanian couple that used to come in and order a caesar salad with salmon every single day? They would have us turn off the ceiling fans because she was allergic to wind. So many bizarre regulars. I have many fond memories of that place.
