Restaurant Etiquette

[shipmum]

Since it seems that the majority of people don't have any clue how to behave in a restaurant I've taken it upon myself to vent a few of the things that really get my knickers in a twist as a waitress

Amen to that list ! :) *Sends mega-hugs*
It shouldn't be difficult for people to insert their brain before engaging mouth,but they seldom do.:(

I hate eating out,as I always end up trying to repress the urge to tell at least *one* group to knock off the snideys and annoying behaviour.
Sometimes I do intervene ,and it shocks these asses that they were doing anything wrong .Amazingly ,they start behaving better than if a staff member did the "Excuse me's".
( Hubs thinks it's because I look tougher than I am .:P)

My sis used to do waitressing /serving at several pubs and restaurants when she was younger,and I can guarantee you'd have her sympathies too!
(#8 and #9 were pretty much the main cause of her departure from the last restaurant.)

Have a better day today ..may your customers be pleasant and their tips generous ! :D

( Yes,I know most people are happy to splurge £100 on their food fetishes ,but think Waiting staff live on bloody fresh air ..but I can hope,right ?)

I had a coworker once who thought everyone should have to work in either a restaurant or in retail because it teaches you how to not treat people in service industries like crap. Here's hoping you have pleasant customers and big tips coming your way.
