Last night, at around 1:30 A.M., this man approached me at the front desk. He was dressed only in underwear and a tank top, and completely drenched in beer. It was dripping down his face, soaking his hair, everything. Waving a half empty can of Cools at me, he goes, “Where’s the Wendy’s?”

I told him where it was, but reminded him of the time, and that it would not be open right now.

So, he responds, “Okay, yeah, okay, but where is the Wendy’s?”

I tell him again.

Then he says, “Right, right. How do I get to the Wendy’s?”

I tell him where it is.

“I just want some breakfast,” he says. “I want some goddamn breakfast.”

I tell him it’s going to be close, although I don’t know why. Let him go and find out himself.

Then he says, “Okay, sure, but what about that other place? Wendy’s?”

I open my mouth to respond, but then he suddenly shouts, “NO WAIT, I MEANT DENNY’S, FUCKIN’ DENNYS! YEAH!” and he promptly spins around, runs out of the lobby, punts the can of beer across the parking lot and yells “GOAL!”, then sprints away from the hotel.

Two hours pass. Then he returns, completely sober and dry, and dressed in a fucking suit. He waves at me, says, “Hi, how’s it going, sir?” and gets on the elevator.

I still don’t understand this. I don’t know if I ever will.

The point here is, Denny’s has changed a whole lot apparently since the last time I went there.
