One for the Waiters

The Weekend Australian published an extract of an article from The Observer in its magazine yesterday. It was all about waiters. I thought it was pretty funny, in particular this bit:

So try to be kind to your waiter or waitress. Every night, in a hundred different restaurants, some boorish customer is making the most of his only opportunity that day to tell someone else what to do. Appalling. He doesn't understand that news of his unpleasantness will be quickly semaphored around the room to other staff. Perhaps he will never realise that there was a reason why his steak was cold, his ice cream was hot and that tray fell on his head.
