WAITING
Here is the second part of last week's list of things waiters need to do or not do.
100 Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do (Part 2)
I am printing this because I am a life long restaurant patron and the list almost totally echoes my own mental list. So many clunkers.
My pet on this list is "you guys".
This is particularly galling in a gay context. It is obvious that the server doesn't know how to deal with the whole male thing. I didn't know that they did this to hets also.
It is not necessary, if you think of it, to say "you anything". Just "can I help you?" is great.
I don't think that he mentioned touching or, worse, leaning on a chair. My chair.
But that is so beyond the pale you wouldn't think it need mention. Yes it does.
Here, if you missed it, is (Part 1).
It is too late for me. I don't go out to eat that much anymore. Sometimes I think that I have been driven inside by servers.
I also think this is just fun to read. The guy has a great voice.
I too am fine with having a burger served with tattoos and piercings.
