obnoxious servers

I thought this thread was about obnoxious servers??? Younz all need to get back on track.

That is an absurd predisposition.....especially so if one is in restaurant management.

I said I look at the customer first. I never said anything about whether or not they were the ones at fault in the first place; regardless if they are the customer or management. Do I place blame on the customer for perhaps being the obnoxious-pretensions ones down the road? Maybe. But I firmly understand that this is a Service, bit your lip Industry requiring far more patience than people like I posses. And I applaud anyone involved.

But perhaps this is all getting far too off the thread.

I misunderstood. My apologies.

Well, I've always felt that being called "Folks" at the table is just...kinda "Folksy".
I don't care where you're dining......
I prefer Lady and Gentleman or "Sir" and "Miss" or Mam" as a sign of respect!
Call me old school

I agree with this, mostly. But it depends on where you're dining. The higher the menu prices, the better the vernacular. And because we're kind of a southern state, certain phrases like "y'all" can be excused as part of our charm. I wouldn't expect to hear "folks" at Morton's, but I wouldn't think twice about it at Lynn's. Either way, as long as the food is good and the service is non-offending, I'm happy.

I have personally heard "have a gooder" at least five times in the last month...local thing?? Hmmm.

Gooder and gooden. WTF did that come from?


(Side note: I had a guy approach me at Fest of Ale Saturday convinced I was you.)

Must be the glasses!

I was also misstaken for you too Todd. We need to coordinate wardrobe better next year.
