Idling away

People can be quite funny, yesterday the order was taking too long to come so I was fooling around. if you observe them and try to deduce what they are up to each one will be a classic piece of fiction.Especially the waiters,some of them would be really eager they would be suggesting various dishes, brows raised a slight hint of a smile, and the hapless diner is nearly sold into all this. SOmetimes the diners will be a little embarrassed with the attention, and they would look up to whom they are with for a nod of approval. No one wants to be adventurous on their own especially when they are going to share teh dish. I guess these groups of waiters would be falling to two categories, either they are new to the job, eager, taking pride in their new job or may be just pure naughty, you will eat what I say mister, I will force you to do that :) hehe. Then possibly they could be really into the job , they genuinely want you to have a good experience, these group would listen to what you want, and then suggest something thats on your mind,

Then there would be waiters for whom , it doesnt really matter, they are doing it cause they dont have anything better to do, stuck there, they will just look at you stone faced, note down what you want and get you that, try striking up a conversation with them, if you want a better service.

ANd then there would be all those who have come to dine, Its kind of fairly easy to find out if the table is being shared or if someone is throwing out a prty. More often than not If a table is being shared it will be a fairly standard meal, nothing fancy and the order is fairly quick. IF the order is taking time its more likely that someone is throwing a party. Ofcourse if its a buffet, you cant really hazard a guess.

Another thing that I find quite funny, is how people behave with the waiters, sometimes, with a lot of authority as if its their only avenue, where they can exercise them, and then how some people dress up real funny, yesterday there was this guy who looked as if he has just been chased by a tiger down the road, and he finally found refuge in the restaurant , he literally looked quite timid, but his T shirt had "Let Eagle Scream " in bright red :) That was quite a statement

I think Federrer will win, its 1-1 and 5-5 3rd set 15:30 Nadal serve, Nadal seems to be tiring and Federrer is dragging it out
