Hakyung Chin/ The worst waiter/ MON 11AM

Let me serve you the worst meal ever

 

           Have you ever had an unpleasant experience in a restaurant? If you have, I believe in most cases they are due to bad waiters. I think there are three conditions to be a bad waiter. The first condition is to be inattentive. There are some waiters who think they are the customers not us. For example, sometimes they just give us a glance and go without taking any orders or snap back rudely to our questions. In my case, I was once waited by a waiter who put the food on the table with big noises and almost threw the spoons and chopsticks at us. The next condition is being forgetful. We understand when the restaurant is crowded and all the waiters are busy. However, sometimes it goes too far. For example, we have to remind the waiter what we ordered over and over again. Once, I went to a restaurant in the peak time. I ordered a pizza and waited for 30 minutes. I thought it was taking a while because there were a lot of customers. But when I asked the waiter when I could get my pizza, I found out that they didn't take my order properly and I was waiting for nothing. The last condition of being the worst waiter is being untidy. Being untidy includes being dirty and sloppy. For example, I once went to a Korean restaurant and the waiter brought the soup with her thumb in it. I couldn't argue then, but I was not quite happy with it. Some waiters spill the food over the table or over the customers. We know that they didn't intend to do that, but that makes a meal unpleasant. A waiter who meets one of these conditions is a bad waiter, who meets two of these, a worse waiter. Of course, who meets all of them the worst waiter ever.

  1. What I like about your writing is that it includes enough examples to support your main idea. It helps me to understand the topic better. Also I especially like the way you have organized the ideas. However, I think the last sentence is not really necessary, so it would be better to think of another concluding sentence. Overall, nice writing!!!!

  2. Hi my name is NaYeon Kwon. I like your writing because you explained what kind of waiter you think is a bad one specifically. You gave enough examples so it was easy to understand what your topic was. However, I don't understand the purpose of the fisrt sentence. I think it could be better without it. Also, I think the second sentnece is over-generalized. Without these problems, I really liked your writing, thank you :)
