Rules to Live By - How to Be a Better Restraunt Attendee...

[thejawa]

Today I had an idea... I should make a list of rules, based on common sense, that people should take to heart. So I may start doing these more often. Today's topic was sparked by an encounter with 1 table, from which about 3 of these rules came from

11) When your server asks how your food is, and you find it not to your liking; be honest with your server. By telling them that it's not to your liking, and then saying it's fine does not solve the problem. It's even more of a hastle... and the information will likely NOT be passed onto the kitchen

12) if a different server brings you your food and they ask if you want anything else, they are referring to sauce or food related items. By telling me you want another beer usually does nothing, I cannot right up a beer for you, and it wastes time for me because I'm trying to take care of my tables too!

Not particurally, when i ask for anything else, im implying drinks too.

I wish, that's why I usually try to run my own food, so that way no one has to find me.... it's hard to find some people quickly... especially on an unusually busy night.

your running food comment sparked another rule

13) If another server comes to your table, do not assume that they have automatically been given the duty to fulfill your needs. Unless you are willing to tip them, don't expect them to go out of their way for you. Wait patiently, more than likely your server will be at your table in a minute.
