Waitress (Episode 3249)

The Waitress worked at a posh hotel where Mike and Jackie Baldwin spent their honeymoon in July 1991. The Baldwins only spent a weekend there as they'd been forced to cut costs due to the effects of the recession on Ingram's Textiles.

Mike and Jackie spent nearly their entire stay at the hotel rowing about the fact that Jackie had agreed to sell Ingram's to Ralph Dobson without consulting Mike. Mike was in a foul mood when he arrived in the lounge adjoining the hotel's restaurant for lunch after spending the morning on the golf course. Having taken down Jackie's order in Mike's absence, the waitress returned for Mike's and to inform the couple that their table was ready. Mike ordered an omelette and snappily cut the waitress off when she asked him if he wanted anything else.

The couple continued to argue once they took their seats in the restaurant, leading Jackie to storm out in anger. As she did so, the head waiter stopped the waitress and cast a furtive glance towards the Baldwins' table, a bemused smirk on his face.
