50 don't-you-dares for restaurant staffers
Herewith is a link to a list of 50 things restaurant staffers should never do, as provided to the New York Times by a guy named Bruce who's getting ready to open a seafood joint.
I used "herewith" because he did, as the very first word of the piece. I used "joint" because it doesn't sound like something you'd hear from someone who begins an article with "herewith."
As for the list, it's only part one. Bruce has 50 more don'ts ready to go next week.
Most of the first batch is hard to argue with, as in ...
1. Do not let anyone enter the restaurant without a warm greeting.
5. Tables should be level without anyone asking. Fix it before guests are seated.
21. Never serve anything that looks creepy or runny or wrong.
38. Do not call a guy a "dude."
... but feel free to disagree. In short: Read and discuss, dudes.

Enjoyed the list earlier . . . until my co-diner noted pointedly that a few guidelines (no flirting, no joking, no touching) also apply to patrons.
Who, me?
All I know is that I want that empty plate left alone 'til everyone has finished . . . and I always wince at "Good choice."
