The '''Excess Express waitress''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who works on the [[Excess Express]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She seems to be in love with [[Zip Toad]] as she was overjoyed when he boarded the train and hoped he showed up to eat soon. She was also irritated when [[Pennington]] accuses him of stealing the pot of stew.

Mario first meets the waitress after boarding the Express Express. During [[Mario]]'s trip to [[Poshley Heights]] in their quest for the [[Garnet Star]], her [[Shell Earrings]] are stolen by [[Doopliss]] (disguised as Zip Toad). The [[Shadow Sirens]] planned to mix the Shell Earrings with [[Toodles]]'s [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]] and some [[Nitro Honey Syrup]] to set off an explosion, destroying the train and fulfilling the "sticky, yummy doom" Mario has been warned of. Mario eventually catches the fake Zip Toad, 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.

The waitress's Shell Earrings were given to her by her ex-boyfriend, apparently an unnamed [[Little Mouser|Squeek]] Mario can speak to in [[Podley's Place]] who wonders if she still keeps them. The waitress often uses star symbols in her text and speaks in a hyperactive, line-by-line sequence. According to [[Goombella]], she probably is not a very good waitress, but likely attracts many men.

On the third day, the waitress gets absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attack the train. Mario fends off the Smorgs in the baggage car and free the waitress, along with the [[Excess Express conductor|train conductor]]. After Mario defeats the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind, the waitress thanks Mario for saving everybody. She remains aboard the Excess Express for the rest of the game.

After Chapter 6, there is a blue Toad in cabin 1 who reveals he has taken the train countless times, and that the only reason he does that is because he is in love with the waitress and wants to approach her and now has developed a fondness for both the train and her. 

==Tattle==
*"''That's the waitress of the Excess Express. Kinda spacey. Think she's an OK waitress? Probably not... but guys always go for girls like this, don't they? Why is that, Mario?''"
[[Goombella]] has an alternate [[tattle]] for the waitress after Mario fends off the [[Smorg]]s in the baggage car.
*"''That's the waitress of the Excess Express. I bet she's a little shocked by all this!''"

==Trivia==
*She is the only [[Toad (species)|Toad]] with hearts on her cap in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. This resembles [[Vanna T.]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
