Explanation

Schlosser describes a specific situation involving Elisa and the restaurant’s morning shift: she takes orders and hands food to customers as the restaurant gets busier. This is anecdotal evidence, which uses a particular story or example. It is not statistical because it gives no numerical data, nor testimonial because no one offers a quoted opinion or personal judgment.
