No, Crow/Rhi, my goal wasn't to slag all waitresses. I have been one and have worked with wonderful ones. I pay particular attention to the bad ones because I know my restaurant manager would have bounced them in a week for ignoring customers and missing opportunities to sell as much as you can as quickly as you can. We were trained to never neglect the customer and get that bill as high as you can to improve your tip and try to make regulars out of the group. I'm the rare hospitality worker who actually loved my job and customers and took pride in my section and the companies for which I worked. But...dancing pays better!
