When we go out to eat, we're usually too excited about the food to think about the people working behind the scenes. While you may think you're being the perfect customer, there are things that really annoy your server, so here are a few habits to avoid when you're eating out. Pressuring the staff to hurry with your food because you're running late or short on time just comes off as plain rude. If you're a picky eater, don't be afraid to ask for a few modifications on your meal; however, too many changes can make the item unrecognizable and can confuse the server.  If a server tells you an item is out of stock, don't take it out on them because they probably have nothing to do with ordering supplies. If you're about to place an order at a fast-food restaurant, don't take a phone call or be on your phone, as it comes across as rude and may confuse the worker. Lastly, if you're in need of some extra sauce or more cutlery, ask the server for assistance rather than reaching behind the counter.
