P.S.

About the Little Devils, Evil Spawn, Unruly Little....I'll stop there...

I don't think that servers or busser should have to clean up after you or your kids...My peeves?


Self serve Ice Cream Machines and Salad Bars.

1. Any kid that goes to the ICM will waste ice cream trying to "see how high they can get this cone" or "I love crumbled Oreos and sprinkles and gummi bears and M&Ms....."

I do like them all too! but not all over the counter. TAKE A MINUTE TO GET OFF THE CHAIR AND WALK YOUR KID OVER TO THE MACHINE. If it was your kitchen you'd have and S-fit if they made that mess on your counter.

2. Being over six foot, I have to scooch down to get to the chick peas at the back of the salad bar.

Your kid doesn't have to, so.....

Don't let your kid serve themselves, they usually will play with the tongs, drag their long sleeve skateboard t-shirt across the food to get to the broccoli they want to pick up, inspect and toss into the bean sprouts.
(I have seen kids wipe the snot off their nose with a sleeve, then stick said sleeve under the guard.)

Watch them so they do not stick a finger into the dressing to see which they like.
Watch them so they do not stick the Italian dressing ladle into the Ranch.
Watch them so they do not stick their fingers to grab a few of the crunchy noodles with their dirty hands.
Watch them so they do not load up on a dish, dress it and leave it when realize they don't like Blue Cheese dressing.
If they remotely have the sniffles or a cough -
keep them away period!

I absolutely hate to see kids serve themselves GIANT bowls of Jello, take a bite and leave the rest-That pretty much goes for all self serve food.

dAgain, if it happened in YOUR KITCHEN.....

We used to go out to a Sizzler, It has since burned down-and we made friends with a server who was the greatest!

A few times she walked away with a 50 dollar tip on our tickets-we were about 10 diners and I figure we spent about 15-17 bucks a piece.

She took extra special care of us, she'd show up with extra plates for the Salad Bar.....During the all-you-can-eat
specials you'd get extra BEFORE you asked for it.

Of course, she probably cost the company a few bucks for doing that, but she made the company money by keeping us as customers.

I say, tip and tip big.....

As I heard a pizza driver say once.....I am alone with your food!
