c- to z-celebs

As I mentioned before I'm currently working in the MQ (short for Museumsquartier, the biggest cultural urban space in Vienna) as a waiter. The place I'm working at is called Halle. As it belongs to the imperium of Bernd Schlacher, a renowned society caterer it happens from time to time that we get to serve some different celebs from politics, television etc. Most of the time so-called z-celebs get lost at our place. For those who want to hear some names: for instance Sabine Petzl, Karin Resetarits, Mathias Euler-Rolle and Alex Krause (yes, the host from the acclaimed and beloved show MoneyMaker, unfortunately he wasn't wearing his slick green jacket from his show :-).
Sometimes we also get to see more colourful animals of the Austrian society.

Today one of the latter showed up at our place. Wolfgang Ambros, a famous singer/songwriter, who is famous for hits such as "Da Hofa woars", "Hupf in Gatsch" and of course "Schifoarn", came to my station at around 19:00 p.m. One could immediately recognise people gazing at "Woiferl" (not to be confused with W.A.Mozart) and also some colleagues came to me and made bets on who much this guy is going to spend. "Zum auffaunga amoi a Seidl" (For starters a small beer). Hearing that I estemeed that he would stay quite a bit of time, drinking some beers, especially as he appeared a little bit tired. Unfortunately he drank his beer in one draw, payed and left right after that. It is unknown why this critical incident happend, maybe it was because he recognised we don't serve Gulasch at our restaurant :-)
