Speaking as a lurker who thought I might have something to contribute to this post as both a former server and a frequent eater, I have to say that the loud woman over there is disturbing the ambience to the extent that my fine dining experience requires at least several more free refills before I can recover my composure. And I don’t care if it’s bar brand gin, just keep those refills coming. Don’t make me WASTE MY TIME… ---

A thyroid storm can be fatal if not brought under control. She has been hammering on this one thing all day long. That sounds like a pyschosis to me and it is one of the symptoms. It just hit me 10 minutes ago and i have been trying to ask her but i think se;s blocking me. Somebody else please just post to her ---

[http://www.restaurant.org/business/bb/2001\_04.cfm](http://www.restaurant.org/business/bb/2001_04.cfm) for your reading pleasure springysprongy This is from an article from the National Restuarant Association, which most likely has a better sense of the industry then you have. In particular note the sixth item down: _Stay a step ahead of the guests. “You should always be scanning your tables” to identify customers’ needs, says Pabreza. For example, she refills customers’ coffee before they even ask._ Also from this book page 5 > **[Remarkable Service: A Guide to Winning and Keeping Customers for Servers,...](https://www.amazon.com/Remarkable-Service-Customers-Managers-Restaurant/dp/0471380229)** > > Remarkable Service: A Guide to Winning and Keeping Customers for Servers, Managers, and Restaurant Owners \[The Culinary Institute of America (CIA)\] on Amazon.com. \*FREE\* shipping on qualifying offers. Remarkable Service: A Guide to Winning and... _guests should not have to ask for refills of water or ice tea, bread & butter._ I only spent 5 minutes finding this info–there were several books that you can order that I am quite sure will also indicate this is accepted industry practice. So you are proven wrong once again–why isn’t that surprising? Perhaps you might want to educate yourself a little on this subject before you dig deeper? ---
