In america, if a waiter doesn't come to your table within the first 15 min of you sitting down, then there is something wrong.
It shouldn't take more than a min or two for the waiter to come over, give you some water, and introduce themselves.
- kybernetikos 13y agoIntroduce themselves? That's exactly the kind of cultural thing I think people are talking about. I'm not here to be taken on a 'journey' by the server, I'm here to eat good food and enjoy the company that came with me. A good server is one you barely notice.
- ripter 13y agoIt's normally something like "Hi, my name is Kybernetikos, I'll be your server today. If you have any questions just let me know. I'll bring out some water and take your drink order." It's something you typically ignore until it's not there.
- sejje 13y agoThere's no journey, they give you their name and proceed to take your drink orders. No need to be condescending here, he even prefixed it with "in America," and what he said is absolute fact. If you aren't waited on in the first 15 minutes, in America, you aren't in a good restaurant.
