DC4020 - 12/8/2022 18:57 We eat out often in order to socialize as well as give my wife a break. We typically get excellent service at our preferred restaurants. My wife and I also enjoy a “date night” occasionally and usually go to a nice restaurant and enjoy a good meal that we don’t have to cook and also don’t have to clean up. As far as waiting…I don’t know how many tables a server is typically responsible for. Unfortunately you are not their only responsibility unless it’s really early, late, or slow. Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Many of them bust their butt serving customers that are demanding, rude, and impossible to please. Also, many restaurants are severely understaffed these days.
Mine works one night a week at a small town bar here for "fun money" besides her real job. You want to come to a town with 300 people and get a properly made Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Clover Club, Amaretto Sour, Mint Julep, etc? Better come to Pecks when Megan works on Wednesday- and people do.
We were eating at a hotel 200 miles away and when the waitress came back to see if we were ready to settle the bill, we had all the plates, napkins, etc. set up at the side of the table just how Megan would want to clean it off. The waitress stopped for a couple seconds and said "at least one of you has waited tables." Getting good service is a two-way street.
