Came arcoss a interesting article in Reader's Digest & its title "12 Things your waiter won't tell you". Advise from a waiter, just to share some:

1. Avoid eating on holidays & Saturday nights.
The sheer vol of customers guarantees that most kitchen will be pushed beyond their ability to produce a high-quality dish.

2. Waiters/Waitresses can and do spit in people's food
When customers' dissatisfication devolves into personal attacks, adulterating food or drink is a convenient way for servers to exavt convert vengeance.
(This do happen in S'pore, so only "feedback" after yr meal. :lol: )

3. Treat others as you want to be treated
Yes, people need to be reminded of this.
(Respect others, they are earning a living just like anyone of us. Customer is not always right :P )

4. Don't SNAP your fingers
Don't do that to get attention.
(I will consider this as very rude.)

5. Splitting entrees is ok, but don't ask for water, lemon & sugar so that you can make your own lemonade. What's next, grape so can press your own red wine? :lol: :lol:

6. If you find a waiter you like,always ask to be seated in his or her section. Tell al your friends so they'll start asking for that server as well, U've made that waiter looks indispensable to the owner. The server will be grateful & take good care of you.

7. Always examine the bill
Sometimes large parties are unaware that a gratuity has been added to the bill.
(I won't say this is common sight here but I do came accross additional item was charged to my bill.)

8. Never , ever come in 15 mins before closing time
The cooks are tired and will cook yr dinner right away. So while u are chitchatting over salads, your entrees will be languishing under the heat lamp while the dishwasher is spraying industrial-strength, carcinogenic cleaning solvents in their immediate vicinity.

9. Don't order meals that aren't on the menu
You're forcing the chef to cook something he doesn't make on a regular basis. If he makes the same entree 10,000 times a month, the odds are good that the dish will be a home run every time.

i find #5 very funny... but sometimes I find myself or my cliques just ask to leave out the item instead of splitting it... unless its soup....

i happen to always find attractive waitress when dining... :rolleyes:
maybe can apply tip #6 next time... heehee~*

thks for sharing Jupiter!! :lol: :lol:

Don't mention, Benny.

This do happen in S'pore... :P

Next time I'kll bring my own supply of lemon, juz get sugar & water from them :lol: :lol: :lol:
