‘No Problem,’ ‘Working on That,’ and Other Things Waiters Should Never Say
Grub Street New York —
... Aspiring Hamptons restaurateur Bruce Buschel has now published part two of his list of 100 Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do, and it touches on some things we’ve griped about before, for instance “Do not ask if a guest needs change. Just bring the change.” Most of the other edicts are obvious — well, except for this one: “Do not play brass — no brassy Broadway songs, brass bands, marching bands, or big bands that feature brass, except a muted flugelhorn.” Ha! Tell that to Sasha Petraske! And: “Do not play an entire CD of ...

Fork in the Road —
Bruce Buschel, the would-be Hamptons restaurateur who's been blogging about his experiences for the Times , has just published the second half of his list of 100 Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do . If Buschel's rules are any indication, then working as a waiter at his establishment will be the service industry's equivalent of being a first-year cadet at the Citadel. Much of Buschel's list is valid: No. 58's "Do not bring judgment with the ketchup, No. 60's "Bring all the appetizers at the same time, or do not bring the appetizers," and No. 77's "Do not disappear," ...

Part 1 of his list of rules for staffers blew up on the Web last week in the manner of one of those articles about gay penguins or how to train your husband or indignities suffered by people of privilege.

100 Rules for Restaurant Staffers
Serious Eats: New York —
Last week, Bruce Buschel wrote the first installation of "100 Things Restaurants Should Never Do." Today, he's back with Part Two.
A few I'm inclined to agree with:
58. Do not bring judgment with the ketchup. Or mustard. Or hot sauce. Or whatever condiment is requested.
64. Specials, spoken and printed, should always have prices.
69. If someone wants to know your life story, keep it short.
88. Do not ask if a guest needs change. Just bring the change.
95. Never hover long enough to make people feel they ...

First, two quaint and uncontroversial expressions: “thank you” and “I’m sorry.” Thank you for all the comments, which were, by and large, thoughtful and passionate. If the rules were the vine, your comments were the fruit. I’m sorry if your suggestions or protests did not make it onto the blog before comments stopped being accepted. Enjoy. I don’t mind if my server has been drinking. As long as they do ...
