There’s a key distinction between remarkable and average waiters and waitresses.
For those who don’t know me well, I’m not too picky about the food I eat. Show me a menu and I’ll eat just about anything on it.
You might think how great that is, but it makes choosing something to eat sort of miserable.
My solution is to leave it up to the waiter or waitress.
“Pick your favorite and don’t tell me. I’ll be surprised.”
The average waiter and waitress freaks out under the pressure. They will either say, “No, you’ve gotta choose something” or “well the BLT is really good, do you want that?”
The average seeks out reassurance, confirmation, and certainty in being right. Once he or she takes the order, they can’t screw it up. If that meal comes out bad, it’s not their fault.
The remarkable waiter and waitress on the other hand, says, “Alright. No problem.”
The remarkable understands that it may not be right. He or she dances with the pressure and fear of being responsible for a potentially poor experience, but goes at it anyway.
If you’ve pieced it together… I’m not talking about just waiters and waitresses.
