Ask The Salty Waitress: My entree was inexcusably late and all I got was free dessert
　　Dear Salty, I recently went out to a nice restaurant: not especially fancy but a good spot for a date or a business dinner. 　　Anyways, I went with with a party of four on a Tuesday evening, when it was less likely to be packed. Our server was nice, but...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I’m too broke for office happy hour
　　Dear Salty, I’m a college student with a summer internship at a marketing firm in San Francisco. I like the job overall—the people are nice, I’m learning a lot, and I get to do real work. But while it is a paid internship, I’m barely making enough to cover my...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I’m afraid my neighbor’s cookout food could make me sick
　　Dear Salty, 　　I’m a germaphobe in general, and summer cookouts can make me nervous. Last year I went to my neighbors’ Fourth Of July party and saw they’d already set out the burgers, hot dogs, salads, etc. who knows when, and left them in the sun. I stuck to potato...

Ask The Salty Waitress: When should servers take away the signed check?
　　Hey Salty! I’ve been waiting tables and bartending for pretty much my entire adult life, so I like to think I’ve mostly got things down as far as how to handle my tables. However, my restaurant just got a new general manager who’s been pushing us to pick up the...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How many free beer samples is too many?
　　Hey Salty, I hang out pretty regularly at a craft beer bar that offers free, one-ounce-ish samples people can try before ordering a full pour. I’m pretty decisive, but I’ll sometimes sample one beer before I order, especially if it’s a flavor I’m not sure I’ll like. But I see...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How much spectacle should I make of putting money in a tip jar?
　　Hey Salty, I have a tipping question. When I order at a restaurant that has a tip jar on a counter, I try and tip when the server is facing me rather than when their back is turned (i.e. when they’re pouring a drink or getting something from out of...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I’m a DoorDash delivery guy. Do restaurants hate me?
　　Dear Salty: Recently while in between jobs I started working as a delivery driver for DoorDash and about 80% of the time, no matter how polite and professional I was (and I made great effort to be both) it seemed like the staff of these restaurants just absolutely despised me...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I ask customers why they didn't finish their meal?
　　Hey Salty! Long, longtime server/bartender here. What should I say, if anything, if a customer asks me to clear their plate at the end of their meal, with the majority of their food still on it? (I’m not talking here about a few bites left over at the end, I...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Know any Jedi mind tricks for servers to get bigger tips?
　　Dear Salty: I just graduated from college and I’m waitressing this summer. I’m good at serving (at least that’s what my boss says), I enjoy the customers, and I consider my job fun. So please know I’m slightly embarrassed to ask this question: Do you have any special techniques for...

Ask The Salty Waitress: My friend insists on asking servers about their “favorites”
　　Dear Salty, I have a friend who insists you should ask your server for recommendations whenever you go out to eat, which he does *every* time. He says it’s a way to tell the quality of a restaurant—if a server doesn’t have a favorite meal or two, he says it...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Why do servers ask if you’ve been to the restaurant before?
　　Hey Salty: WHYYYYY do servers ask if you’ve been to the restaurant before? 　　Thanks, Lauren 　　Hiya Lauren, 　　I know this is nails on a chalkboard to some people, but there’s a method to the madness. The question is usually part of the script that managers give servers, right after “Hi...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How can I report an employer who’s skimming tips?
　　Hi Salty, There is a restaurant my friend worked at on Long Island. Servers receive a set $90 gratuity on parties. My friend worked a large party with a $6k tab. He noticed that the manager added an automatic $1,200 tip....but still only gave him the $90 tip after busting...

Ask The Salty Waitress: If I need something, does it matter if I ask “my” server?
　　Hello Salty. Here’s something that I’ve always wondered about. Obviously, we all know that when you go to a sit-down restaurant, you have a set waiter/server at your table—they’re the one person who takes your order, asks how you’re doing, all that. And most importantly, they’re the one who you...
