One thing I've noticed that really bugs me recently is somebody saying 'I'll JUST have water'.
In my mind it's STILL a drink. I STILL have to fill a glass with ice and I STILL have to press a button on the soda fountain and I STILL have to bring you a straw. So water is no less work for me; if anything it's MORE because we use different glasses for water than we do for soda and the water glasses are almost always spotted and gross-looking, so you have to paw through the rack to find a clean one and blahblahblah.
Please. It's not JUST water. It's still a drink.

At my restaurant, we have to refill the waters at our customers' requests. In the summertime, this is so futile. Especially since it doesn't bring up your tip percentages AT ALL!!!
By the way, I'm starting a blogroll on my site. You are being added :)

Thanks for the comments!
When I'm having a bad day this never fails to piss me off. I end up going back in to the kitchen and muttering about "fucking fuckers and their fucking waters". :)
I hear you loud and clear. I am amazed sometimes. I have lots of people ask for pitchers of water. You would think this would make it easier, but it doesn't.
