You Got Served

But did you get served well?

Viewtiful_Justin suggested I write a little about being a restaurant server. It's a job that most every American has seen in action.

But what goes on in the mind of a server?

Are there instant ways you can make your service worse?

Are there simple ways to make it better?

Is it possible to have a true win-win situation?

I'd love to dive into some of this, and I will. But not today. I have a ton to get done and today is a great day to do it all.

However, I want to know, before I begin, what are some of your food-service experiences? Positive, negative, neutral, whatever. Anything memorable? I'm hoping the stories help me hone in my topics and such.

Tell me your serving story.

Well, the number one rule of being my sever is that I'm funny. If you don't laugh, I instantly feel like you don't care enough.

I don't really have server stories...I just was curious. I heard that leaving change with your tip is rude. I heard that shaking your ice in your glass is the most obnoxious thing you can do. I dunno...

I just wondered if any of it was true...and how I could be a better customer.
