I think the ending is just as important. The two I often cycle through are:


“Please”


And



“You dumb bitch”



Anyone else?

“I would like…” or “I’ll have…”

It kills me a little when my kids say “can I have…” when ordering. I get being polite. But you aren’t asking permission from your waiter. You don’t need to ask can I or may I. Just tell him/her what you want. Only exception is if you are asking for some modification or off-menu item. Then it is appropriate to ask if that is available.

I thought this was going to be about how annoying you are, how many words it takes you to order because you have to be picky and change everything. My wife and her cousin are minimum 15 word orders with questions and adjustments. I usually say exactly what it is called on the menu and I'm done.

C, unless its a nice place then I ask the waiter/waitress to please choose for me. Never been disappointed by their selection. They are not going to bring anything lame and often i get something not on the menu.

"Please tell the chef that Jean derScrotum, food critic from Vine & Dine, will be ordering Patis Apertif with the amuse-bouche then the Bouillabaisse, followed by his best Coq au Vin and finished with the Souffle' and a Chambord."

This is usually followed by:

"I'm sorry sir, can you pull up to the window?"
