I'm not looking for a show or to become friends with the waiter or waitress. When the server is jovial it's a plus for me. I don't like to have the server take the order and make be feel like I'm a bother in their routine. Maybe a friendly server is a better choice of words. -- _________________________________________________________________ | Steven Schlossman CIS 73145,117 Internet: schlossm@netcom.com |
