"Hi, my name is (insert name here), I'll be taking care of you today. May I start you off with something to drink?"

One of the first things you hear when your waiter (or waitress) first comes up to your table. Being a waiter and waitress is a common position for people to hold at least once in their life, often as a transitional phase or a college job.

Here are a few things that a fine dining cater waiter might just be thinking during any typical shift:

1. "Did I put the correct number of chicken /beef /pork on my note pad?"
