Ask The Salty Waitress: Is it fair to judge a restaurant during its first few weeks?
　　Hi Salty, New restaurant in my small (20,000 people) hometown, making real bbq, which no one else is doing, and doing it well. Just opened two weeks ago. We went to a soft opening lunch and it was fine but the most recent dinner was a disaster—didn’t get seated until...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I take the extra condiment packets from restaurants?
　　Hi Salty, It is common for places like Cracker Barrel to bring stuff to your table with your meal. They bring packages of butter, jam, and if you order pancakes they bring 2-4 tiny bottles of syrup. I have always wondered, what happens with the stuff you don’t even touch?...

Ask The Salty Waitress: This farm-to-table restaurant is a scam
　　Dear Salty, I’m mostly writing to you to get this off my chest. I’ve been a bartender for over 10 years, working at fancy, farm-to-table restaurants, the types of places that pride themselves on using the whole animal, nose-to-tail, small local farms, ingredients that are in season. etc. 　　I recently...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Do restaurants let potential servers know how much tip money to expect?
　　Dear Salty, To what extent are (prospective) waiters aware of how much tip income they should expect to take home from job postings or offers they are assessing? Do restaurants supply (likely optimistic) estimates during the interview phase? 　　Whiggly 　　Dear Whiggly, 　　Yep, they sure do, sweet pea! Tips make up...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What do I do with my used tissues at a restaurant?
　　Dear Salty, It’s that time of year when I get my first of many colds. (I am the dreaded Office Sniffler for most of the winter.) My question is what to do with tissues I use to blow my nose when I go out to eat. I don’t usually carry...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Do I really need to respond to reservation confirmation texts?
　　Dear Salty, Do I really need to confirm my dinner reservations by responding to the restaurant’s multiple text messages and phone calls? Aren’t these just reminders because the reservation app already reminds me? There were no consequences to the few times I could not call or text them back for...

Ask The Salty Waitress: The cashier is texting instead of ringing up my order
　　Dear Salty, I was traveling this weekend on business and had a tight connection that meant I had to switch airport terminals. Between my two long flights, I barely had time to grab some food to tide me over. So with 5 minutes until my plane boards, I decided to...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Shouldn’t this lousy drink be free?
　　Hello Salty! Last weekend my husband and I went to a brand-new nice restaurant that had only been open a few days. We had dinner at the bar area. Food was fine, but my cocktail was not what I expected at all. It was so sweet that I couldn’t drink...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Am I too old to wait tables?
　　Dear Salty, Hi, my name is Joan. I used to be a waitress years ago and was a good one if I may say so. I’m now retired from my current job for the past 8 years, I’m 65 and still in good shape, do you think I’m too old...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Why do I have to cash out at the end of my server’s shift?
　　Dear Salty, I am fond of dining mid-afternoon at establishments which serve through the day. Sometimes I am there while the shift changes from the afternoon to the evening wait staff. I appreciate and find it refreshing when my server comes by and tells me they are leaving and that...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I suspect this bar fills top-shelf liquor bottles with bottom-shelf booze
　　Dear Salty, Last night I went to a bar that I’ve never been to and I ordered my usual gin and tonic with my preferred brand; almost immediately I could tell that it wasn’t my brand, even though I watched the bartender pour it from the bottle I requested. My...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I let a restaurant know that I’m celebrating a special occasion?
　　Hi Salty, Most online reservation systems (OpenTable, Resy, etc) have a box to check if your reservation is for a special occasion. Is there any reason to click this? Am I going to get a free dessert out of it? Where’s the line with what’s a special occasion (Anniversary? Promotion...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I’ve run out of excuses to avoid my friend’s Pampered Chef parties
　　Dear Salty, I have a friend who hosts Pampered Chef parties at least once a month. I’ve been to one so far, and I thought that would take care of my obligation, but she continues to invite me. She’ll send out a Facebook invite, but she’ll also text me and...
