Customers have an amazing ability at destabilizing tables. I'll shim them up if I can between seatings, but such is not always possible. 7 is simply wrong. The closer you are to your tables, the bigger the tip. Customers complain when their servers aren't personable. 17 is a hard one. Some people hate having empty plates in front of them. Some people hate having empty plates taken from them while others are eating. Given how strongly many feel in either way, I usually ask. (Although some people don't seem to care, but hate being asked. You can't win.) 18 is a no brainer, although when there are large parties, it can be hard to keep track, especially if people move around. If you're at a table of 18, and you move without telling me, you're probably going to get whatever the person who was at your new seat ordered. 33 often will happen when people move their chairs. If I have a tray of food, and people at the tables to either side of me have rearranged the seats so that there is less than 6 inches between them, at least one of their chairs will be touched. I can't do anything about that. 44 is often violated, and for good reason. If somebody at one of my tables asks me what I like about a certain dish, I should know what it tastes like. If I don't I should have a reason why I do not know. 2, 8, 9, 13, 16, 24 are all obvious, and inexcusable if they aren't followed. |
