Ask The Salty Waitress: How much should I tip when ordering catering for the office?
　　Dear Salty, I often order meals for meetings where I work. Sometimes they are small (5-7 people) and I can get by with Zaxby’s or Chick-fil-A. More often than not, it’s for a large group (30+) and I will order a wide variety of food from a “sit-down” chain restaurant....

Ask The Salty Waitress: I’m sick of all my food arriving at once
　　Dear Salty Waitress: My family, friends and I are people who really enjoy eating out. This includes us ordering appetizers and/or soup with the regular dinner order. We have drinks, talk and tip the servers accordingly. However, in the last few years I am noticing the most annoying trend of...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Why do servers always give the guy the bill, even if I’m paying?
　　Dear Salty Waitress, I’ve noticed for years now that when I go out to eat with a guy (I’m a woman), whether it’s just a friend at a casual lunch place or a dinner date at a fancy restaurant, the waitstaff will usually hand him the bill. This isn’t a...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Why is the bartender talking more to the cute girl next to me?
　　Dear Salty: It’s snowing on a Friday night, and I decide I’ve been cooped up enough to head to the BBQ down the street. It’s not a 5 star restaurant, but it is definitely not a walk up fast food place either. I am male. I ask to sit at...

Ask The Salty Waitress: My drink is hundreds of dollars. Must I tip 20%?
　　Hey Salty! I like to think of myself as a decent restaurant patron who is polite, not too needy, and tips well. I get really good service at the places I frequent and they seem really happy to see me and my wife. 　　I turn 50 this month and like...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I give my bartender a holiday gift or bonus?
　　Dear Salty, So it’s the holiday season, and every year I try to give a little something to the housecleaner, the super, and the dogwalker. The bartender at my local bar provides a service that’s at least a valuable as cleaning my house, fixing stuff, and walking my dog. Can...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Do I really have to call this entree by its stupid name?
　　Hi! I have always wondered what to do if the thing I want has a whimsical or sometimes downright silly name. (For example, I recently found myself talking around ordering an “OMG & T” in a pub.) I feel weird about saying it, but I feel like pointing at a...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Does my server think I’m a freeloader?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I’m a high school teacher in a big city. In the last few months I’ve gone to two different restaurants where graduates of my school work, one as a waiter, one as a runner. Both times, I said hi to the students when I recognized them, and we...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is our server eavesdropping on our conversation?
　　Hi Salty, 　　I went to dinner with my girlfriend last week, and I thought one of our apps was underseasoned. It was fine otherwise (we had eaten most of it at this point), but I told her under my breath that I thought it could have used a little salt....

Ask The Salty Waitress: I’m going to be 5 minutes late. Should I still call the restaurant?
　　Dear Salty, I tend to be a timely guy and I always try and be courteous. Whenever a restaurant accepts it, I try to make a reservation. Since I had a young child, though, I’m more likely to miss the mark for an appointment while I suss out child care...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What does the bartender think when I request their cheapest booze?
　　Hi there, Salty, 　　A question: When is it inappropriate to ask what an establishment’s rail whiskey is? Obviously, there are the clear answers: If there’s a drink list with prices, no reason to ask; if it’s a typical bar, ask away. I’m more curious about the places in the middle:...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is it okay to snatch silverware from other tables?
　　Salty, how rude is it to snatch another napkin or silverware from a nearby unoccupied table if a server is nowhere to be seen? 　　—Stuff stealer 　　Dear Stickyfingers, 　　I like a question that gets right to the point. Plus you’ve given ol’ Salty just the opening she needs for her...
