When you walk into a restaurant, you probably notice how friendly the host and waitstaff are, what the ambiance feels like, what kind of cuisine is on the menu and who else is dining there. But you’re not the only one taking in your surroundings. Restaurant servers are also likely sizing you up and figuring out what kind of dining guest you’ll be.

“Is it two friends? Is it a date? … You fish those things out just by talking to the guests and find out why they’re there,” he said. For example, asking to substitute an inexpensive ingredient with an expensive one is probably not going to happen. When he worked in Times Square, he frequently had customers come in and say they were in a hurry to get to a show.

“The last thing you want … is to have this that orders three things and then lingers for two hours,” Simon shared. “Working at a restaurant is literally the most tiring job … people want to go home.”They CAN’T judge how you’ll treat them based on your appearance.
