Ever notice that in many restaurants
when you order a bottle of wine, the waiter comes along frequently and tops up
your glass to almost full? A wine glass should never be filled to the brim as
it inhibits swirling for aeration and encourages spillage. In some cases, it’s
just that the waiter doesn’t know any better or feels they are providing good
service, but much of the time, I feel there is another reason for it. As they
make most of their wages from tips, they know they will only get one tip from
your seating. Therefore, I wonder if they hurry you along so you’ll finish your
meal quicker and leave, making room for another seating and another potential
tip. The more seatings, the more tips! That concept really bugs me.
