I was sitting in Friendly's having lunch with two of my friends one day. We were chomping away, mouths full, when the server came over and asked us if everything was okay, and can I get you anything else? We did the usual shake of our heads, but when my friend was done chewing she looked at us and said "You know they're trained to do that right? So your mouth is full you won't ask for anything else and you can't complain". LOL. I started lauging hysterically.

Being a server is a tough job, I speak from years of experience. One person might get peeved when a server asks how everything is while your eating. Yet another person may get very peeved if a server does not. Same goes for the water or coffee. Some people might get annoyed by the over zealous water boy, while others might be annoyed that their glass is half full for five minutes. Your trying to please a wide array of preferences and personalities, and it can be a challenge at times!
