Waiters in Japan
Until now, I have published 636 blog posts. Isn't that amazing? I wonder if I can get to 1000 by the end of this year. I'll do my best!
Today, I want to talk about waiters and waitresses. I have never been a waiter (or a waitress), but it seems like a really hard job. I am always amazed by the little tiny girls who work at the izzakaya and bring out 6 or 7 big glasses of beer with one hand and plates of food with the other, and they never seem to drop anything. One of my students did mention, though, that he happily had 2 glasses of beer accidentally dropped on him once.
One thing that many foreigners don't know about Japanese restaurants is that the waiters and waitresses don't come to your table unless you call for them. I have, on occasion, seen a foreigner impatiently sitting at a restaurant alone, waiting for a waiter or waitress to come. I always think to myself "He's going to have a long wait.".
I wonder if Japanese people think the waiters in restaurants in America are too noisy. They always come by your table many times and ask if you need anything. It's because they want a big TIP!
That's all for today!
Thank-you for checking out my blog. If you have any friends, please tell them about it!
Leave a comment and have a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day!
