This is the impressive moment a waiter fell to the floor while he was carrying four meals—and he didn’t even drop a single plate.
24-year-old Jamie Shoebridge has been waiting tables for three years, although he may now be considering a career in the circus after he pulled off this incredible juggling act.
Shoebridge’s little accident occurred on Sunday afternoon during the lunchtime rush. CCTV cameras captured the moment that he slipped on some peppercorn sauce and fell to the floor, taking down a decorative plant in the process.
As bizarre as it is, however, he somehow managed to keep hold of the plate he was holding in his left hand while somehow continuing to balance the three other meals he had been carrying on a tray in his right.
Shoebridge, who is a restaurant supervisor from Nottingham, said he then jumped back up and delivered the meals as planned with his guests none-the-wiser.
“One minute I was walking along with the plates and the next minute I was on the floor,” said Shoebridge. “I lost my footing and fell down face first.
“There was some peppercorn sauce on the floor and I slipped on it. It’s all a blur and I’m not sure how it happened,” he continued. “It was just an instinct to lift my arms up and try to save the plates. I just got back up and carried on as normal.”
The only casualty of the three roast beef dinners and bangers and mash dish was one sausage and a few peas.
“I have no idea how none of the plates got smashed,” said Shoebridge. “I’m impressed with myself.”
“It didn’t hurt but I was very confused as to how it happened. We all had a laugh about it in the office. It has become a bit of a running joke at work now.”
