Even people who bend over backwards to appear nice in other settings, (especially Church) unravel when their food shows up cold or late or they don't get their refill etc. It also invariably works out that the characteristics they display in a restaurant are also indicative of how they treat those close to them. If I were dating and my date was a jerk to a server, I'd dump the relationship immediately. Of course its not foolproof, but as a cheap and quick indicator of a lot of personality/relationship issues, its virtually infallible.Steve Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319784922747041297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-66583500397011037392008-07-14T08:49:00.000-07:002008-07-14T08:49:00.000-07:00Great post!

He's miserable, mean and blames them for anything that isn't to his liking. I'm always so embarassed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-41335592464580897802008-07-13T15:10:00.000-07:002008-07-13T15:10:00.000-07:00Oo, I *love* this observation!

There are little things you can observe about your friends that turn out not to be so little, and -- as you say -- this is one of them. <BR/><BR/>I had a friend who always seemed a little "high-maintenance," but I thought it was just me and was trying to be more responsive to her and less sensitive to slightly acidic style. But then I started noticing that I was downright embarrassed to go out to restaurants with her because she was so awful to waiters and waitresses. I never thought of hanging back and apologizing for her, as you say you've done, but I wish I had. <BR/><BR/>And we're not friends anymore. She's not speaking to me because she thinks I'm too mean (meaning I got tired of walking on eggshells and finally demanded she treat me like a person). Ugh.

I am a waitress, and I sometimes wish I could tell people, trust me, I do my best all the time because your tip *is* my paycheck (base pay $2.50 an hour before all the taxes from tips). Just be nice - it makes our day. Not only towards us but also towards your companions; we do not like standing there listening to you arguing... Besides, we are human beings and like to smile and converse with others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656667.post-41448629564930286572008-07-07T14:37:00.000-07:002008-07-07T14:37:00.000-07:00This kind of thing drives my DD bananas.
