Be good to your mother. You only get one and when she is gone you want the joy to over shadow the regret.

Also goes for waiters and cooks.

 

You don't mess with the people that make/bring your food. They have power!

 

 

 

But I suspect this thread didn't pop up from a mere random thought. Did something happen?

Just be cool. You don't even have to tip huge. A customer who is sweet & understanding (esp when it's really busy) will be treated like royalty by the front AND back of the house. 

 

Ever been in a really busy restaurant with a friend who's being a bit of a tw@_t? Notice how things tend to get screwed up? This is not a coincidence.

When it's busy most competent kitchens are humming along like a well oiled machine. Culinary warriors who have any balls/experience revel in the sensation of getting slammed. It is a natural high, an adrenaline rush. Not to mention the feeling of relief & comraderie afterwards. If an order takes really long or gets sent out wrong more than once it may be because you or someone in your party pissed off the Chef/Sous Chef. He may even 86 you if you really get pretentious...

 

Just a little insight.

Why of course!

 

You don't want to hear the horror stories my acquaintances told me about working at fast food/restaurants! The things that they put into the food/drinks is quite disgusting...

Attempting to get back to being serious, it's one of the reasons I dread eating food prepared by someone other than me (especially if I can't watch them prepare it).

Always learn. Don't act like you know everything, and accept that you're wrong.

You'll have to explain that metaphor for me. No sparing the gross details!

I crossed out "seeming clever" for "being clever." But, that's generally good advice.

 

Here's an advice from a veteran RN regarding how to relax when patients' hearts stop beating: "Just think that they're dead anyway. You can't make them any more dead."

- If someone is unwilling to learn, stay away from him.

- If someone truly deserves it kneel before him/her and pay respect.

- Try to learn History, Classic Philosophy and Ethics, Geography and two different languages.

- Avoid fashion, trends and consumerism.

- Be pragmatic but also have moderation and principles.

- Judge people not by their belief or disbelief in Deity, Next World and similar stuff, but with their behaviors, words and actions.

- Do push-ups and jogging to stay away from obesity, skinniness and illnesses.

 

Sufficient for now.
