Later, her [[Shell Earrings]] are stolen by [[Doopliss]] (who has been disguised as Zip Toad all along) at the behest of [[Beldam]]. The earrings were given to her by her ex-boyfriend, apparently an unnamed [[Little Mouser]] Mario can speak to in [[Podley's Place]] who wonders if she still keeps them. The [[Three Shadows]] planned to mix the Shell Earrings with [[Toodles]]'s [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]] and some [[Nitro Honey Syrup]] stolen from the [[Businessman]]'s [[briefcase]] to set off an explosion, destroying the train and fulfilling the "sticky, yummy doom" Mario has been warned of. Mario eventually catches Doopliss, who reluctantly relinquishes the stolen items. If Mario returns the Shell Earrings to the waitress, she will reward him with a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]] in gratitude, calling him the nicest, old mustachioed man she's ever met. She also confesses she had doubts about Doopliss really being Zip Toad. | Later, her [[Shell Earrings]] are stolen by [[Doopliss]] (who has been disguised as Zip Toad all along) at the behest of [[Beldam]].

At the start of the third day, the waitress, along with the other passengers and staff, goes missing, being absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attacks the train. Mario finds the waitress and the [[Excess Express conductor]] being held hostage in the baggage car. After freeing them, the waitress notes the Smorgs must have abducted her in her sleep. Mario eventually defeats the rest of the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind, and allowing the rest of the passengers to arrive safely in Poshley Heights. The waitress remains on the train for the rest of the game, continuing her duties alongside Shimi. | At the start of the third day, the waitress, along with the other passengers and staff, goes missing, being absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attacks the train.

Whereas she is present for this in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]], she is absent from this cutscene in the original game. | |||
