This plucky waitress is evidently not scared of trespassing lizards so big they are mistaken for dogs.

The waitress, who is originally from Normandy, commented: "I wasn't scared, I like reptiles so was a bit excited."

Too bad she got rid of it. The thing would have made a great dinner special.

“Well, at least she wasn’t dragging it INTO the restaurant............”

Probably just redirecting it to the kitchen entrance...

Just had the same thought, would have been funny if she’d dragged it into the kitchen.

...all the while saying, "Give us just a moment and we'll have another special on the lunch menu ..."
