Flirting with guests

10/26/07

The ladies seem to love me, however, they are always a little bit older then I am, by 30 or so years, which is not always a bad thing. I often hear things like, you are so adorable, I wish I could take you home. This usually causes me to laugh, and I enjoy and welcome their attention. Even more humorous is if they happen to be dinning out with their husband, and the female patron flirts with me while her husband stares at me, then her. In these types of circumstance it is very important to read your guests, to see if they both are laughing. I sometimes wonder if their home lives are in order (which is none of business), and possibly the woman’s husband is no longer affectionate with their wife, because behind every joke there is a bit of truth. But I always try to have a good time joking around with my guests, I really care that they are satisfied with their dinning experience. And if they are you will be rewarded for it. It is important to note I never forget to include the husbands in on the joke, because they might be paying. “Well I don’t know if this gentleman here would be particularly okay with that Miss?”
“Oh, he will be just fine with it.”
And the conversation is usually followed by more laughter. Now I could consider this harassment, but I usually know it is a joke. It is nothing, but fun, however, it is important to gage every individual at every table to insure they are comfortable. This will lead to a happy dinning experience.
