Everyday I'm amazed at the dumb things that goes on in restaurants. I think that when people get into the weeds they kick into survival mode which allows them to react in ways that are unacceptable, then to forget what they had done.
I had a waiter that was in the kitchen at the servers beverage station loading a tray of drinks for a table. After he put the last drink on the tray, he got a very confused look on his face. He stared at the tray then mumbled something and stared some more. He knew I was standing there watching him and I was about to tell him to start over, when he amazed me. He picked up each drink tasted, nodded acknowledgement, placed back, picked up the tray and out the door he went. I was left dumbfounded, couldn't spit the one word out "stop". When he returned to the kitchen I asked him if he thought that was the right way to figure out what was on his tray. He looked at me like he had know idea what I was talking about and back to work he went.
