[quote=Anonymous]I worked for years as a server/bartender, and the fact is that 95% of restaurant goers WANT that inane chit-chat. An emotionally intelligent server should get the picture if you’re brief in your responses and just keep it about business. But there’s no guarantee. And I understand, even despite my time in the restaurant industry I really don’t enjoy the chit-chat, but it’s hard to disabuse yourself of the notion of needing to engage in this way when your tip is typically dependent upon being charming, chatty, and attentive.[/quote]
