ThURLsday returns from its respite with a pointer to a weblog maintained by a woman who calls herself la depressionada, who says that she "lives (sort of) and does not work in New York City." Today she strikes back at waiters and waitresses who maneuver for higher tips; here are three pieces of her advice for food service staff:
3. Do not under any circumstances squat at my table. I am not a slow kindergartener learning my letters.
4. Do not under any circumstances TOUCH me. I will then be well within my rights to bite that hand.
5. Repeating my order may irritate me too. We are not at Olive Garden. If the waiter is confused, maybe: How would madam like the chops? But really, 85% of the job is listening, so, you know, do it.
