Now I am as patient as the next person. Really I am. But even a really good server can’t read my mind. Too many “everything ok?” questions is annoying. More annoying is the “lost server”.
For example, last night, Frau and I went to the “good” Chinese restaurant, not the “closest” or the “closer”, but the “good” one. Their food is great; the service leaves much to be desired.
(I’m working on them. I’ll get up and go get them when I need them to do something. Frau’s a big tipper. So they “tolerate” me. I guess)
Now when you’re paying two bucks for a soda, I expect Frau’s glass never to be empty!
Not so.
So I want a little flag on the table that I can raise when I want something. (Can it be wired to the waiter’s cell phone?) Or a push button that illuminates like the flight attendant call button.
That’s enough!
