As a fellow worker in the "hospitality" industry...I couldn't agree with you more.
Number 5. I know I can be hard of hearing and often do this annoying "repeat what I thought I heard" thingy...but when I was a waitress, and even with the catering now, I make sure I state what the food/drink is very clearly. Unless they are old or have a hearing aid, I can't stand it when they look at me in puzzlement and ask "Is this ______"? After I just said, this is _______! If I say it's chicken, and it looks like chicken, and smells like chicken...DO NOT ASK ME IF IT IS CHICKEN BECAUSE THE ONLY OTHER OPTION WAS THE STEAK AND OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT THE STEAK I WAS GIVING YOU!
Okay, I'm done.
Yeah, I feel your pain. Sorry if I was a B&N Coffee Shop guest ever annoy you. I annoy b/c I love :)
