Is it OK to start your meal at a restaurant before everyone has theirs?
You may want to hold off on that.
Buzzfeed just asked readers about different restaurant behaviors and over 60% say you should wait until everyone’s served before you dig in!
Other findings:
- 87% say you shouldn’t argue with a host about wait times because you see empty tables if don’t have a reservation
- 82% say you shouldn’t bring in outside food,unless it’s specifically allowed or you have a food allergy
- 73% say you shouldn’t ask for something that’s not on the menu (unless for dietary restrictions of allergies)
- 58% say you should always tip 20% or more if the service was good
Should you ask for separate checks or split the bill evenly?
Not surprisingly we’re split down the middle on that…half say yay, half say nay.
Also 63% say it’s OK to take photos of your meal…so snap away!
And another thing…want to get great service/
Dress for success…a new study found service people assume they’re going to get a bigger tip if the customer is dressed well…so leave the tank tops and flip flops home!
