| | MANHATTAN WAITER : MANHATTAN WAITER |
 | | In the quest to sell diners expensive designer water, waiters have moved well beyond the simple query, "regular or bottled?" Now they are honing their water rituals down to a ruthlessly manipulative science. | | | One trick is the table plant, where alluring bottles are placed on the table in advance to encourage a "visual sell." Then there's the fast-pour, which borrows from an old sommelier's ruse of replenishing glasses sip by sip in order to turn more bottles. | | | When the waiter returned with an open, chilled bottle of still water instead, "I just had to swallow it," says Mr. |

| | When the waiter picks up the plate that you have licked clean and asks "How was everything?", do not say "I hated it, tell the chef to make me another," and then laugh as though you are the first person who has told this joke. | | | These ladies were acting so sweet about it, however, that not only did I give my spiel and answer some questions, but we also spent some time with the wine list and picked a nice bottle of wine for them. | | | When ordering a drink, Do not attempt to make your waiter feel stupid because he asks "Up or On the Rocks." In other words: NOT EVERYONE ORDERS A FUCKING OLD FASHIONED ON THE ROCKS YOU UNBELIEVABLE JACKASS. |
