oh wow.... did he have a fair complexion. For some reason, I'm picturing a guy with red hair.

Accidents happen, I wasn't mad about the fact she dropped the cup ... I was kind of stunned that she never apologized. She quickly bent to the floor and scooped the ice onto the tray and that was the last we saw her until she brought out our food. Never blinked an eye or so much as mentioned it happening.
Me and my lady just kind of sat there there in awe for a few minutes, thinking she was coming back with a washcloth or something, and then we took our only 2 napkins and tried to soak up the puddle on the table.

A high school aged girl should know common courtesy at her age. I learned how to be courteous when I was still in the single digits. Courtesy goes a long way with me. If she had shown sincere remorse, I may have even left her a larger tip with a little note saying that I hope her night gets better, or something along those lines. Everyone makes mistakes. How they handle those mistakes is what truly shows their character and I'm always impressed when someone shows great character.
