Waiting Staff

It’s not their responsibility to help you enjoy your meal. Nor is it any of their concern if you like the food. Their role is strictly delivery. The sequence of the delivery is not necessarily important either – if you make the mistake of ordering your whole meal at the same time, your main will probably come together with the starter or, quite often, before. There’s a phrase I’ve heard several times, a kind of half-joke: ‘don’t embarrass us in front of the foreigner’ but of course, concentrating so hard on not messing anything up means they’re much more likely to.
