Last week, I watched a young guy at the coffee shop make the barista's entire day. Not with a big tip or elaborate compliment, just a genuine "thank you so much" and eye contact that said he actually saw her as a person, not just a caffeine dispenser. The barista's shoulders relaxed, her smile turned real, and suddenly the whole atmosphere shifted.

How to Get Your Server's Attention Without Being a Jerk

We've all gone to the dark place at least once, where we believe the person serving us in a restaurant has forgotten-or worse!-is purposely avoiding us. How else can I explain my perpetually empty glass, or that they haven't deposited the bill even though they know I'm going to a show after dinner? Their prolonged absence is more likely unintentional-because the restaurant is overbooked and understaffed or the server is also juggling a table of 20. Or maybe, like me, they're having a bad day.
