Cheryl Cole – Promise This
Cheryl Cole is a popstar from Great Britain and very popular over there. (although there are also a lot of people who don't like her). With Dutch guests I talk about the weather, the Spanish like small-talk about soccer (eh.... ) and with the British I chitchat about Cheryl.
She has a new single with a very catchy refrain.. that the little girls will like when I sing it. I can promise you that my collegues will become crazy.. alouette, -ette, -ette !!!

The phantom of the restaurant
No no!!! Don't touch that table! Underneath is the phantom, who will escape. He lets everything fall down. Don't you see the little broken glass on the floor? It's his work! No no! Don't look underneath the napkin! It's the spirit of a waiter who died from love hurt. His girlfriend, a beautiful Italian waitress fell in love with a chef and left. All the waiters will drop glasses if he'd escape from underneath!
Yesterday I had a lot of fun with a couple of curious kids who wanted to look underneath the napkin of a gueridon. And if you tell kids NOT to do something, yes you know, they'll try to do it. Of course inspirated by the Phantom of the Opera

The name of the citrus
It's fun to work in a workplace with guests and collegues from all over Europe. One of my first targets was to learn the six most important languages. I calculated that I can communicate with 95% of the guests in their motherlanguage. Ofcourse you don't learn only the standardphrases but with the influence of your collegues you learn also the language of the street -and the bed.
Today Italian guests at table 305. At a certain moment they point at a citrus and ask me:'Do you know how it's called in Italian?' "I don't know, I'll ask the kitchen." "No no, si chiama pompino, puoi anche dire pompa".
Mmm.. the guest is not ALWAYS right

Eye contact
As a good waiter, you don’t just greet the table, you greet each person by making eye contact with them
via Waiting on celebrities « So You Want To Be A Waiter.
I tend to forget that when I'm in the weeds, but this is essential for making everybody comfortable. Just like talking to and making jokes with everybody and not only to those (kids) who talk (a lot) at a table. Also because you want to break the negative spiral (the waiter doesn't talk to me -> You see, I'm not worth it / my sister is more interesting -> I don't talk to the waiter ) because you won't the only one who tends to talk to the cute little sister instead of the big timid boy.
Thanks SYWTBAW for the reminder! (even thought the subject of his original posts is totally different... about celebs I will post later 
)
