Pet Peeves
As a hostess at Denny's, I have discovered that I have a few pet peeves that I have to experience every Saturday and Sunday. Please, if you do these things, for my sanity and to make the world a better place, stop now!
Pet Peeve #1: Your child is not half a person. Please do not say you are a group of 2 1/2 when you come for breakfast with your spouse and child. If you want to draw attention to the fact that you have a child with you say you are a party of two and a highchair or two adults and a child.
Pet Peeve #2: Restaurants divide the seating available amongst the wait staff that is currently working. If I try to seat you at a table and you move to another table, you throw off the balance. If you then get poor service because you caused your server to have too many tables at once, suck it up. You should still tip and next time you should sit where I seat you.
