I'm not sure Chet's ever actually appeared. He started out as a Forum joke about another clonetrooper action figure, and has been mentioned a few times (mainly in the form of the "Chet's Chow" restaurant chain, which is like Planet Hollywood with a stormtrooper theme instead of action movies), but no one portraying the character has appeared in-story as far as I can recall. (It is mentioned once, I think in In for a Penny, that Jay McCandless did a tour of duty as Chet off-camera, sometime between The Vastru Encounter and The Revolution Will Be Televised.)

IIRC, the waiter is dressed like a tie fighter pilot.

But, some googling shows that I'm wrong

As she got up and crossed the restaurant to the pay phones, a
waiter in the white and black armor of a White Legion scout trooper
appeared at Utena's elbow, almost startling her out of her seat as he
asked

I believe there's also a scene in the New Avalon Chet's in Requiem for a Lensman; I forget how the waiter was dressed that time. They're always some kind of White Legion or MILARM personnel, but the front-of-house staff are not customarily dressed as Chet himself - the usual response when customers (usually parents who have their children with them) ask is that he's on assignment with the Fleet just then.

I quoted it a few messages up, scout trooper.

Hmm, what was I thinking of, then? I know there's another besides the Requiem one and the Rogue Squadron one.

Oh! I know. The scrapped scene from Bagatelles where Corwin runs into Rei, that happened in a Chet's. No mention of what the waitress is wearing, though.

... sounds kind of dirty when you put it that way. Or is that just me?

FWIW, I still get a giggle out of Corwin's noticing that the TIE fighter hung up on the wall isn't a display model: "It's not like it would have -cost- them anything."

I believe this is the very first mention of Chet the Safety Trooper; at least, it contains the picture and origin story of which you speak.
