Apologize for the blur, he's simply too fast for still photography.
If this guy isn't the world's fastest busboy, he's at least the most entertaining. Or, the most distracting, depending on your level of appreciation for the table bussing arts. At first glance, it looks like either the video is going at high speed, or the guy is high on speed. Considering that the videos were shot in Florida, you couldn't be blamed for thinking that the guy didn't even work at the restaurant, but was just a local tweaker who ran out of things to clean in his apartment and decided to take his talents to Red Robin.
Because he's not just fast, he's meth-fast! According to people familiar with his work, however, he's just an incredibly hard-working, Bangladeshi-American who loves his job and has a need for speed.
In case you thought this might've been a one-time deal and the guy was in a rush to clock out, people have been shooting videos of him for some time. Which raises the question, how has he not been hired to be on a NASCAR pit crew?
Okay, so he may have accidentally left the ketchup bottle in the tray. And the way he flings the rag around might send the occasional chunk of food flying onto another table. Still, what he lacks in accuracy and attention to detail, he more than makes up for in entertainment value. When's the last time you busted out a camera to capture a busboy in action? Exactly.
Even if there is somehow a busboy out-hustling this guy, I'd like to see the videos of him go viral, so that "World's Fastest Busboy" becomes a thing. If for no other reason than it might stir up the competitive juices of other busboys, motivating them to get their asses in gear and make a run for this guy's title.
