  Speaker 1: We need people to text in at four four, three
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: six three and either add to this particular list we're
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: about to give you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Or help us figure out why.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Yes on some of these things, right, and it involves
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: restaurants which we all.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Love to go to. And yes, and the wait staff
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: was asked simple questions what can we do or not
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: do to make things better for you? So servers were saying, look,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I know you guys are trying to help, but please don't.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: And these are the don'ts. Don't stack the plates as
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: so as the diners. Don't stack the place when we're done.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: We have a thought on this already, but I'll go
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: back to it, so you keep going.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Don't put utensils and napkins in the glasses, don't take
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: items off the tray like, don't help them serve it
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: lifting your glass for a refill. They don't like that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Don't point at the menu. I think that's rather than
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: saying what you want, I don't know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I just don't know how to pronounce it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And don't hand over the menu.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's dissect this.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's break it down. Because I was a waitress
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: for many years.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, so stacking the dishes. Mm hmmm, is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it coming across? Do they not like it because it
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: comes across maybe passive aggressive, like you haven't attended to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this table, you know, promptly enough, and or what else
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: could be the reason why they don't like it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I think because they might have a system. Okay, I'm
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: seeing more, and I tend to do that, like I
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: want to help, I want to help clean up. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: tend to do that. Huh. But yeah, there's like you
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: grab a plate, like if you're going to bust the table,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you grab the plate, you scrape stuff off, things go
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a little separately. So maybe they have a system. Maybe
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that's what that is. Definitely like the putting utensils and
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: napkins in a glass because they're gonna have to clean
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: that out.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Right, and the napkins will kind of deteriorate and get
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: all nasty.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: You don't want to do that, ti, Okay, So I
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: get that. What's the other one taking items off the tray?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, taking items off the tray?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I get it. You're trying to help, but you may
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: offset the balance, yes, and then everything might fall in.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: A big way.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, I get that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Pointing at the menu, I think that's when you're like,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you don't say what you want, but you're just like,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and that's.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: What I do sometimes only why I really can't pronounce it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: But you'll say, right, you know, I want what. I'm
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: not sure how to say this, but I want it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I love it when it has a number, Yes, give
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: me to have a fifteen and R eight.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: There you go and handing over the menu. I was
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: a little confused about because I thought.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: After you order that what I don't get.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe they prefer that they ask for the menus like
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: we'll take them when when everybody's ordered and without here, like.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Say you're at a table of six.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Usually when I'm at a big table like Sam with you, yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you're you're the kind of person, Christine, you'll be like,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: all right, guys, give me the menus because you're maybe
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: closer to with the server.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And there's always one person I feel is the point
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: person for all the menus, and I feel like when
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you give all six of them back to the server,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you're being helpful.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's okay. Maybe it's that as you order and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: hand off because the person is like busy writing down
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: or maybe you know, taking notes on what you want
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to order. So it's just like they're like, okay, that's
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: one more thing. Maybe they want like let me ask
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: for the menus, right, Maybe that's that's what it is.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Well, if you've been a server or currently our server,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: love your thoughts on this. At four four three six
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: three A texting in yet too early, No, we.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Are getting texts about Zultar, which we talked about before
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: because a guy won a million dollars Zultar picked his
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: numbers and we were wondering there were Zultan machines originally
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: then changed to Zultar for the movie Big and now
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: they're Zultar. They said there's a Zultar at Coney Island,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: but that was a few years ago. Point oh and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Point Pleasant Beach has a boardwalk z Altar. That's so cute.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We should do a feature called pot Luck text where
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: we just read all the text messages we've received and then.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: You guess what we were talking about. Yes, it's a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: new game.
