Only five shopping days left…

Friday the 21st of May is National Waiters Day. (It's a real thing and in no way made up) Now I'm sure the nation in question is the good old US of A but I refuse to let national borders get in the way of an excuse to be exalted, recognised, loved and praised. Mothers, Fathers, Grandparents, even bloody pets have their days so it seems only fair that we, masters of the dining room, guardians of the sweet trolley, purveyors of smirk and snark and all round good time guys and gals have a day of our own too.

So what should you, the guest, do to celebrate this most important of occasions?

No card required.

No need for balloons, hats, banners.

No special songs need be sung in our honour.

Just tip
(didn't see that coming did ya?!)

Tip a bit more than normal and remember a waiter is for life,
not just for a random day in May...

Waiters - What a great bunch of lads!

    It clashes with my annual “Be selfish in a restaurant and spend ALL your money on food and drink” day. What a shitter.

    It’s funny you should mention this, because today is “Damn You You Bloody Waiters Just Bring Me My Food Already And Stop Pansying About Admiring Your Reflection In The Mirrors And Picture Frames, And Goddamit Stop Toying With Your iPhone Behind The Counter, You’re Not That Popular That You’re Getting Texts All The Time And I Know You Use It When You’re Sitting On The Toilet So You’re Basically Handling Your Own Faeces Before You Bring Me My Food Thank You Very Much” Day.

    (You’ll be surprised to know I once upset a serving girl in a restaurant so much that I made her cry. The next time I went in, foolish me, she spat in my food. It’s true.)
