Ask The Salty Waitress: Why do I have to remove my AirPods to order coffee?
　　Dear Salty, I was at the coffee shop counter, and the cashier wouldn’t take my order until I took off my AirPod! And it was only in one ear! Am I the asshole here? 　　Kevin 　　Oh, Kevin, you sad, foolish little soul. Where do I even begin? [Takes a deep...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I don’t want this super late dish anymore. Do I pay for it?
　　Hey Salty, 　　I was recently out to dinner with a medium sized group of friends. Everything was going well, I ordered a main dish and a side. When our food came a little while later, our server checked in and asked if everything was right, but I let her know...

Ask The Salty Waitress: If a restaurant screws up my reservation, does it get a second chance?
　　Hi Salty, 　　On the day after Christmas, I made a reservation at a little Italian restaurant for New Year’s Day. My husband always works on New Year’s Eve, so we have our annual New Year’s date night on the 1st. He’d been so excited to try this place, so I...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Does a line cook have to tip the bartender?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I’m a line cook, and have been for a long time. I’ll often sit down at the bar and have a beer or two after work, and I’ve always tipped the staff like I would if I were a decent customer, 15-20%. My reasoning is that if left...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How much food do restaurants waste?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I hate wasting food, I do it enough at home as it is and I’m trying to cut down on it. So when I go to restaurants I’m always thinking about whether a ton of food is going straight from the kitchen to the trash. I can almost...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What are the rules for tipping in a pandemic?
　　Hello Salty Waitress! 　　I appreciate your column especially for guidance on tipping etiquette. I have a disagreement with a housemate on tipping etiquette when we go to pick food up directly from the restaurant, during the covid-19 crisis. 　　Where I live (California), restaurants are pickup/delivery only right now. My stance...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How do I support my favorite restaurant without being annoying?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I’m worried about the fate of my local restaurants, but I feel like the employees must get tired of a million people asking them “How are you holding up?” or “Are you surviving??” I want to let them know that I’m there for them and that I want...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I pre-tip before a meal?
　　Hello, Salty Waitress. I haven’t dined in person for quite a while but with the anticipation of getting vaccinated in the not-too-distant future, I am looking ahead to future outings. I don’t know if this is new ground (probably not), but I had an idea during the pandemic, something I...

Ask the Salty Waitress: Should I tip my server in round dollar amounts?
　　Hello, Salty! So glad to see you’re back! 　　Recently, my sister and I were eating in a restaurant together (thank you, vaccine!), and when the check came, I wrote the tip so that bill would come out to a round number, meaning that the tip included change. My sister said...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Does my server think I’m a bad tipper?
　　I am 63, and was a waitress for over 15 years. Now I have an advanced degree and am very fortunate to be comfortably middle class. I recall from my waitressing days that a single woman alone was expected to be a bad tipper. I am a 25-to-35% tipper, and...

My server spilled coffee on me. Do I still have to tip?
　　I’m a chef, and have dozens of friends in the service industry. Here’s an interesting question that I’d love to hear your take on: an otherwise good server accidentally spills coffee on your lap. Based solely on that information, would you deliver no tip, a regular tip, or a greater...
