Waitresses and Waiters

There is no need to apologize for the things you mistakenly forget to do
What type of person would I be to make a mockery of patience and virtue?
You did right with direct condolences, which most would seldom bother to do
A smile means more than a fork and spoon; the steak needed the rest in my humblest of view
Feelings of appreciation are my hope for the rest of your evening after reading this; my gratitude is for all that you do

I write quite a bit in public, I enjoy the white noise. I felt so bad for this poor waitress/bartender that was serving me and several other customers she was just having a rough night that is where this came from. Like most people I think we've all worked in some form of service industry that was thankless at some point in our lives. I'm glad it was relatable for you and that you found it endearing!
