WAITERS are PEOPLE too!!

We all (or most..normal people?!?) go out to eat, we've had long days and are starving. We're tired and thirsty! We want to order, drink, eat and GO! We are a NOW,NOW,NOW society. We are also a very much ME ME ME society. When you combine the two, it can lead to a person forgetting about the world around him or her. This holds very true when people go out to eat (especially if they have YOUNG CHILDREN! They use their kids as a BIG EXCUSE!) and want to be served fast!
People will forget that the person who is their waiter is in fact not so different than them in that they too get hungry, thirsty and tired. They are AT WORK and are WORKING but are still HUMAN. If you cut them, they will bleed. I just want you next time you go out to eat, to stop what you're doing, observe your waiter and those around you. Take some real time and REALLY in a sincere way, ask "How are you?" , "How's it going?"! Then go right to giving me that very long and complicated order! I'm ready, Freddy!
