Ask The Salty Waitress: Should a server ever friend a customer on Facebook?
　　Dear Salty, I’m a waitress at a sports bar/grill in the Midwest. A few days ago, I was waiting on this guy, and we struck up a really nice, borderline-flirtatious conversation. It for sure wasn’t the standard server-customer interaction. It was pretty clear that he was into me and I...

Ask the Salty Waitress: Do I really need to tip the full amount on an overpriced bottle of wine?
　　Dear Salty: Quick question. I’m generally a good tipper—almost always 18-20 percent automatic and can go up if good service, etc., rarely down. 　　But I have a problem tipping on an already overpriced item that requires almost no effort. If I go to a place and order a bottle of...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Why can't my dog sit just outside the restaurant patio?
　　Dear Salty: There’s a restaurant in my town that I’ve visited before and enjoy quite a bit. It’s in the downtown area, so I typically go there after I’ve run some errands. 　　Here’s the situation though: This past weekend, I tried to get a table on the sidewalk patio with...

　　It warms my doughnut-clogged heart that you people like reading my column. Dishing up advice has been much cheaper than therapy or wine, so really, thanks for all your questions and comments—oh, except for you fleabrains that write in with such nonsense problems I have to pop another Tums. You...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I ask my customer whether her spouse died?
　　Dear Salty, I’m in a potentially sad situation. I’m a server at a restaurant where an elderly couple comes in for lunch regularly, maybe a couple times a month. Usually they sit at one of the booths in my section. 　　This week, though, the wife came in alone. I don’t...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I tip differently in states where servers make minimum wage?
　　Hey Salty, I live in Oregon, where restaurant servers, by law, are paid minimum wage. In Oregon, minimum wage is $10.25 per hour. Do customers in Oregon need to tip? I totally get it in states where it’s legal to pay servers less than minimum wage (which I think is...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I was wrongly accused at my town's best pizzeria
　　Hey Salty: Recently I took my children to a pizza parlor, one that I usually go to with coworkers on Fridays. Like many parlors, you place your order and pay at a counter and then they bring you your slices. So, same as usual, I made my order, paid, got...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Does the klutz who spilled red wine on my clothes owe me?
　　Hi Salty, please tell me what I should have done in this situation. I’ve been thinking about it since the incident happened last weekend and am still pissed about it. 　　I was out to dinner with three friends at a nice restaurant, the kind you have to dress up. During...

Ask The Salty Waitress: When should I take my restaurant grievances to Yelp?
　　Dear Salty, I am not usually the type to post reviews on the internet, but I’m not sure I have any other choice in this situation. 　　Yesterday, a group of four of us went out to dinner at a sushi place in our town that other people have been raving...

Ask The Salty Waitress: I need an exemption from this restaurant’s cell-phone ban
　　Dear Salty, I’ve heard of more restaurants banning cell phones at their tables and in fact, a restaurant my wife and I like just started doing this. There’s now a sign near the front door and a small note on the menu that says, “We respectfully ask guests not to...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How much should I tip on hotel room service?
　　Dear Salty, I travel a lot for business and recently got assigned to a client in a podunk town with hardly any non-fast-food restaurants. The last two trips there, I’ve just ended up ordering hotel room service because it’s easy and the food was pretty decent. 　　I’m wondering how much...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What should I do if I suspect a restaurant gave me food poisoning?
　　Dear Salty, I’ll spare you the details, but I got a bad case of food poisoning last week that basically kept me in the bathroom for 48 hours. I’m pretty sure it’s because of a meal I had at an Italian restaurant; specifically, I suspect the clams. 　　My question is...

Ask the Salty Waitress: Should I expect the food-delivery person to schlep up my stairs?
　　Dear Salty: After years of living in a rural area where food delivery doesn’t exist, I’m finally back in a somewhat urban environment and can enjoy having foodstuffs brought right to my door. It’s a life-changer. However… 　　There’s one delivery place that won’t actually bring the food right to my...
