On The Receipt

There's a controversy about the notes a waiter supposedly wrote on his order tab to help him identify the customers at his tables. I don't know if this is a practice among wait staff; I thought they just went by the numbered tables in a section. I remember seeing something like room/table maps with numbers at some restaurants. I know I'd need help remembering tables if I was working as a server. I'd really need the numbers. Anyway, this waiter allegedly wrote FAT GIRLS on his order tab. The problem is it was printed on the receipt which was given to the three female customers. Needless to say, the women customers were not amused.
This made me wonder what a wait staff person would write on his/her receipt about me to help remember the group at my table in a restaurant.
Woman with Afro?
Eyeglasses?
Short Lady?
Laughing Lady?
FITB?  (This is an old term: Fly in the buttermilk, for when I'm with my friends who aren't African American.)
Water drinker?
What would the wait staff write on the receipt about you?
Smiles,
Sylvia
