In my mind, a good server is a sales person as well. "You're going to love the Salmon, but "save some room for Chef Elmer's Kentucky High Pie". "You want fries with that? How about an apple pie for dessert?" I think there's money in the upsell.
Well the server at my table didn't think that way. Even though the girls were drinking $15 martinis he wanted us out of there.
