Shrimp Sauce Anyone?

The wife of a long time friend told me this story and swears that it is true. Her name is Laura and she lives in a resort area. For a while she worked as a waitress at a high end restaurant; what I call a steak and lobster joint. She had lots of stories and I suspect you could write a book that contained just stories from waitresses and waiters.
Laura is attractive, slim and very athletic; she plays lots of volleyball and is an expert sailboarder.
One night as she was working a busy Friday night, an older man had what appeared to be a stroke and collapsed on the floor next to his table. As someone called for emergency services, 105 pound Laura grabbed the 250 pound man under the armpits and began to pull him out of the dining room and into the lobby about 20 feet away so that he could be administered to more easily.
As she was struggling past the last table, a middle aged woman seated at the table leaned over and said to Laura, “Could you get me some more shrimp sauce please?”.

That is almost exactly what you would expect from some jackass at a high end restaurant....because we all know it is only about them, huh?
