How to be a good diner

pooooony

我在新版的Dish杂志上看到一则文章， 觉得不错， 分与大家共享：

1 Arrive on time. Restaurant seating times and orders of service are carefully organised and when you arrive late you put pressure on the kitchen, which may mean your meals don't come out in time.

2  If you are going to be late, please let the restaurant know, preferably a few hous ahead. (我认为这是对人家起码的尊重， 也是体现自己素质的行为）

3  If you have booked a table for 4 don't turn up as a group of 6 or 8

4  Don't BYO to a licensed restaurant. That includes food.

5  Respect other diners. As your mother would remind you: you are out in public

6  Respect the wait staff. Don't speak or act rudely or allow others in your party to do so.

7  Give credit where's credit 's due. If you are happy with the service you have received, feel free to leave a tip. （这一点恐怕很少有中国人这么做，虽然这里不象美国Tip是必须要给的，很多Kiwi还是很nice,5元至40元不等，毕竟Waitress的工资不高，又很辛苦， 这也是对人家service的肯定和鼓励。）

8  还有一点，（我个人认为）ONE bill per table

我觉得守时，懂得尊重人是非常基本的dinning attitude, 适用于每一间餐馆，甚至可以說是每一种行业。我读奥大那会曾在中国人的餐馆打工后来受不了比最低工资还要低的工资，我去了洋人餐馆。。。。现在我属于经常在外吃饭的人， 所以看到这样的话题，感触颇深， 所以与大家分享， 当然，每个人经历不同生活理念不同，会有不同意见，完全理解。
