Q for waitresses: What questions do customers ask you, other than questions about ordering food?

Answer 1

How are you? What do you recommend here? do you serve beer? wine?  a lot of times the cust would ask for a special of the day or what is under 5.99. Depending on the customers and where they come from the questions can be quite interesting.

Answer 2

how long have you been working here?

Answer 3

I use to be one--it depends on where you work--at a family restaurant, the questions are pretty normal, depending on  who is asking--if it is a male and he is interested in you, he may ask you for a date, phone no. where you live etc., a female may ask for info. about working there. Families will usually ask for something to do with the food, seating, something to accomodate a child, disabled member----at a truck stop with truckers and what they call "fly-by-nights" (one-time customer)--the questions can range from are you availabel to wanting directions to some place local or where they are headed or delivering. Questions are a dime a dozen at restaurants and can be just about anything.

Answer 8

I waitressed in a big inner city  hotel  and we had a lot of international guests eating in the  restaurant where I worked. I was expected to be  a walking encyclopedia  about my  town and what was going on there. Not that I minded, I was a very proud resident of Sydney Australia and love telling people about it :)
