GOOD SERVICE

You do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand the importance of good service. It means more than getting your order right. Offering good service entails smiling, being friendly, courteous, perceptive, empathetic, reliable, and timely. So many trendy restaurants feel that they can get away with crappy service. Sadly, this is something that tourists are vulnerable to, but local patrons have no reason to expect anything but the best, unless of course they're sadistic and like to be subjected to pain.

Do you agree with the author? Why? Give your reasons.

What is a good service for you?

Do you always get good service at restaurants?

What can you suggest for improving the quality of service in restaurants of your city?
