Slow wait staff results in slow tips.

Don’t make me wait, waiter!

I myself get VERY cranky waiting for food! The bread and appetizers better (butter?) be great!

Having worked in a kitchen one summer during college (one summer was enough) I know it’s not always the fault of the waiter. Maybe, not usually.

But still, you as a customer, don’t know that, and you are entitled to get annoyed!

Slow waiter = bad meal.

From my weekly cartoon feature, Daily Special. Here’s how to get new restaurant cartoons delivered to you each week!
