Ask The Salty Waitress: Customers won’t put down their phones to talk
　　Dear Salty, This isn’t really a question, but I just need to vent to someone. I’ve been a bartender for 20 years, and in the past few years, I’ve noticed customers have almost totally stopped any of the small talk and conversation we used to have. Why? Because they’re on...

Ask The Salty Waitress: A party guest is helping himself to my fridge
　　Dear Salty: Last weekend I hosted a casual get-together at my house. Everyone was having a great time, but I couldn’t help but notice one of the guests (I’d consider him more an acquaintance than a close friend) rifling through my fridge! Not only did he help himself to an...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Do restaurant employees get to eat for free?
　　Dear Salty: This doesn’t really affect my experience at restaurants at all, but it’s just something I’m curious about. When and what do servers and cooks eat during their work day? I assume you all eat before your shift, but do you get served anything from the menu? Or do...

Ask the Salty Waitress: Just how special are the house specials?
　　Dear Salty, Recently I went on vacation and ate lunch in a restaurant that made extravagant claims on the menu about the famous-ness of its cherry pie. That got me thinking: Is the cherry pie actually famous, or did whoever wrote the menu just decide that it should be and...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Who really pays when a bartender “buys” a drink?
　　Hi Salty, I got engaged last week, and my friends took me out for drinks at a nice cocktail bar to celebrate. The bartender overhead our congratulatory toast and then when I got my bill, I saw he’d comped my first drink. I tipped extra, but not enough to cover...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is wine by the glass a rip-off?
　　Hey Salty, I have this know-it-all brother-in-law who just has to be the smartest, most contrarian guy in the room. I was recently eating dinner with him and my lovely sister at a nice restaurant when he started lecturing me about how I shouldn’t have ordered a glass of wine...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Am I supposed to tip on top of restaurants’ 20% service fee?
　　Dear Salty, For my partner’s birthday I’m considering a major splurge: booking reservations at a certain internationally famous, A Chef’s Table-profiled, archetypal farm-to-table restaurant. The prepaid seatings are $278 a pop, which already makes me light-headed. But that’s my problem, and solvable: I just need to run a little private...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What’s so wrong with a 20-pump latte?
　　Dear Salty, I was puzzled when I read the news about how Starbucks is putting limits on how many special modifications you can order through its app. I’m especially fascinated by the idea that people would order things through the app that they would be too ashamed to order in...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I ask the kitchen to change its music?
　　Dear Salty, I’m a relatively new server at a local restaurant (although I’ve been bartending and serving for over 10 years), and something came up this weekend that has me stumped. 　　Our kitchen staff (African-American and Hispanic) gets to play their own music in the back of the house, and...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How do I get my server to leave me alone?
　　Hello Salty Waitress, I’m wondering how to deal with this: During my first business trip to the USA, I was generally surprised (and somewhat bothered) by the amount of times a waiter/waitress would pass by and ask how it all was. I believe this is customary and expected by Americans,...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is it weird to give my kind bartender a thank you note?
　　Salty, I recently discovered a wonderful bar near my house. I am usually shy, quiet, and reserved. One of the bartenders is a wonderful young lady—let’s call her “K”—who has gotten me to talk to her and the manager about whiskey mostly. I have made some comments about my mental...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I tend bar and still be sober?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I was a bartender, things got fucked up, and then I got sober. That was about a year ago, and now I’m looking to get back behind the bar again. How much of this should I disclose to potential employers? And should I tell my customers? Please help...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Someone’s vaping next to me on the restaurant patio
　　Hi Salty! 　　I’m lucky enough to live in a big city with a ton of restaurants that have outdoor seating options (patios, roof decks, sidewalk seating, etc.) available. I love to sit outside when the weather is nice, but lately I’ve noticed that a lot of people who vape like...
