Does it irritate you when a waiter drops off your food at your table, you haven't even taken a bite of your food, then he sprints back to see if "everything is alright?" What about a server who constantly refills your water glass, even though it never dips below half-full? Do you hate having to search the table for salt and pepper shakers, only to find that the restaurant doesn't provide them because "the food has already been properly seasoned and therefore doesn't need more salt?"
It sure bothers Nora Ephron, who has written a funny Op-Ed piece in the New York Times about what kinds of things you can expect (and not expect) these days when you're dining out: Pellegrino too eagerly poured into inappropriately oversized glass, fresh ground pepper from enormous peppermills, and giant dessert spoons.
We've also talked about whether servers should clear plates as diners finish or all at once at then end, but are there other things that irk you about restaurant behaviors when you're dining out?
