Eating out at a restaurant is hard for me to enjoy sometimes. I’m always comparing my server skills with that of my waiter or waitress, and I ALWAYS pre-bus my own table.

This is a habit I cannot break. I’ll instinctively stack everyone’s plates at the end of the table, and organize empty glasses. If they would let me, I would probably take them back to the dishwasher.

Usually after the meal, I feel as though I earned a tip as well.
