Best waitress - Pretty and polite (wife material)

Answer 4

Answer 5

I was a waitress for years and years. I would never say that I wanted to punch a server!! I mean, unless they spit in my food or something, but even if service is slow, you have to take it in stride.

Good waitress qualities...

1. Ability to read a table - Some want to talk and chat you up, others want "silent service". Be able to tell the difference and treat the table accordingly.

2. Multi-Task - As a waitress, you'll have a million things going on at once, i.e. waiting on 3+ tables, doing sidework like keeking everything stocked and running food.

3. Being polite - There are times the server wants to punch the rude customers, but they have to keep their composure and let it go.

Servers should not be lazy or absent-minded, but everyone has their moments. Servers are people too, actually, they are some of the most genuine and best people ever!

Answer 6

I never want to physically attack a waiter/waitress, or any person actually. If I get a waiter that doesn't pay attention or who is lacking enthusiasm, I will cut the tip or in a case of rudeness, there will not be a tip. If its bad food, that gets a call to the manager and I leave a full tip, bad food is not the waitress's fault, making me wait for coffee without an explanation is.

The most recent rudeness was at a family place, where they put the coffee in a Thermos. The lid stuck and when it opened I pour hot coffee all over myself. The waitress threw some napkins on the table and when I asked for more coffee she said "try not to spill it this time." Really.

Answer 7

manners gretting them when they have came back from places

Answer 8

kindness,promptness, and must keep good eye out for refills when needed and checks up on u every so often

Answer 9

Some years ago I was in Indianapolis eating breakfast at the Steak 'N' Shake that used to be across the highway from the Indy 500 Raceway when I came across a front page article in the Indianapolis daily paper about new robots a company had invented that would replace waiters and waitresses!

I showed it to my waitress, a friendly, spunky young lady, and this was her response:

"Ain't no robot gonna replace me! A robot don't have my personality!"

THAT, to me, is what makes a good waitress.
