It takes a certain amount of hubris to write a blog like this. To sit back and write about how to be a better server almost implies that you think you are good enough to be emulated. I will never claim to be the world’s greatest server. I do consider myself humbly better than average, but apart from that I try to keep my ego in check. Contrary to what this blog may lead you to believe, I make my share of mistakes.
As I approach my 50th post and my 5th of the week, I thought it only fair to share some of my most memorable slip-ups. Over 15 years there have been plenty. In order to be hospitable you have to be able to relax a bit with your tables. This leads to the occasional “foot in mouth” moment. You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Here are some of my more memorable omelets for your Friday reading pleasure.

“How are you?” is a question that shouldn’t be asked unless you are prepared for all possible answers.
I have encountered many similar situations, to wit:

Mis-pouring the wine kills me. It is one of those things I swear I will never do again after each time it happens. I am about due for one of those moments again. Hopefully the reminder will prevent it.
How do you mis-pour wine? I’m serious!
When you are trying to pour for multiple guests (6+) from the same bottle and run out before you get back to the host.

I greeted a table once and they completely ignored me. I asked for their drink order and they ignored me, so I stomped off in a huff muttering under my breath, “Fine. Act like you’re deaf. I’ll take your order when Hell freezes over.”
When I came out of the waitstation again, I saw one of the servers signing to them. Even though they couldn’t hear what I said, I was humbled.
