Want to brighten someone's day the next time you go out to dine? When the host, hostess, or server inquires about your well being as in, "How are you tonight?" Instead of grunting an unintelligible reply why not say, "I'm fine, and how are you?"
You might be surprised at their response. I know that I am. These hard working, under appreciated individuals usually respond with an amazed, "Thanks for asking." From observing others it appears that we are among the very few patrons who treat those serving our needs with any degree of respect.
And, whether it is the restaurant worker or the cashier at Publix, it doesn't hurt to call them by name. That simple act acknowledges their existence; besides, you are not all that damn important except in your own mind.
You are welcome!
