I hate the new hostess trend

[smetchie]

I'm talking about restaurant hostesses, not party throwers. Have you noticed how they try to talk to you while they guide you to your table now? Because, yeah, I want to start my evening off by talking to the back of a head. They ask you some vapid question and then they have to turn back around so they don't run into anything. It's awkward and stupid and I hate whoever came up with it and sold it to every restaurant in my area. It's a dumb idea. It doesn't make me want to buy more expensive liquor* or entrees so just SHUT UP and walk me to the table in silence.








*The "Sullivan Nod" on the other hand is pure brilliance! ::nods head smiling maniacally:: Yes. It is.

Has the phenomenon occurred in your area where the waitress/waiter sits at your table and starts talking to you like they are your long lost sister/brother before taking your order... I've had to run a few of them off then I decided to leave before my food comes because I KNOW it will be a spit special.

That one came and went a while ago, Thank God. (I sort of figured Alaska was 10 years behind.) But I hated that one too. Get out of my booth motherfucker! I'm not here to party with you.
