Not a restaurant server, but I know this one little tip. DO NOT GET THE WATER WITH A LEMON WEDGE IN IT.
The lemons are usually filthy.
Never fuck with anyone who makes or has access to your food.
Nothing is free, you gotta pay even if it fucking costs 50 cents
Literally just be polite. You can get your way a lot faster and easier just by being polite. There is no reason for you to be rude to a restaurant server. It changes my whole day around having nice people after nice people.
But PLEASE, for the love of God, stop asking me if I’m “on the menu”, stop asking for my number, or writing yours on the receipt. And no, I will not show you what I look like without a mask.
It makes me incredibly uncomfortable when customers flirt with me.
We aren’t there to babysit. Please control your children when you’re in a restaurant, and if you can’t you should consider not being in a restaurant.
I’m talking specifically about families that let their child crawl around in the floor. Don’t do that.
