At 99% of restaurants when I hear “how is your meal?” I have found they really don’t give a toot. And when I was younger and thought it was an actual question, if I would have any critique the server’s eyes usually glaze over with that “uh huh” look, or they get pissy and defensive. So one that drives me nuts - ‘how is your meal’? Based on prior experiences, even if it is cr*p, I now always mutter “its fine”.
"You've been served" It's been a while since I've heard that one. I use to hear it often when going through a divorce, over 20 years ago.
Inside your head or outside? My mind tells me I'm still 25....but lately my body keeps asking "What were you thinking?" That depends on your definition of service.
