The physical actions of taking his order and bringing him his food elicit information in the story which I may be confusing with plot. For example: She brings him his soup and he has completely finished his large salad and two slices of bread. So we learn he eats a lot of food and quickly (which is why he is fat). As she moves between table and kitchen our storyteller defends the fat man to her colleagues. This shows
