Hmmm, making me think about this. I like pleasant and efficient service
to accompany reasonably edible food. I don't like "dear" or "Hon" from
waitstaff. "Ma'am" will do just fine, thanks. And I *really* don't
like, "What are we going to have tonight," or "How're we doing here?
Everything okay?" We? My response is generally, " We? I don't know
how you're doing, but I'm doing fine, thanks."
