Eating is something all people need to do in order to stay alive. What they choose to eat is entirely up to them. Some choose to be vegetarian only eating plant-based products while others choose to dive into delicious and savory meats. Fogo De Chão Brazilian Steakhouse located on N. Scottsdale Road and E. Lincoln Drive is a restaurant to go when craving the non-vegetarian lifestyle. Vegetarians who are willing to venture out of their zone for one night would be the hardest audience to convince…

Why Tipping Should be Banned Although, Americans have grown accustomed to believing tipping a waiter or a waitress at a restaurant is part of the American dining experience, the fact is, it is a borrowed custom from Europe (Burton). According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “tipping in the United States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800’s.” The custom was introduced again in the United States when wealthy Americans…

Although many of Billy Collins’ short poems feature a first-person perspective, readers should not necessarily assume that the voice belongs to the poet himself. Indeed, at times, Collins speaks in the voice of a distinct character whose experiences and thoughts reveal a specific situation and crisis. In “The Waitress,” for example, the speaker’s observations indicate that he dines out often enough to recognize the behaviours common to restaurant servers, but the detail of his description…

created. An important aspect of my own work philosophy is to be constantly working. If I see something that needs to be done and I am capable of doing it, I will. For example, if I see a certain area needs to be swept, I will sweep it instead of waiting for one of my managers telling me to sweep. Another aspect of my philosophy of work is that I am ready when I get to work and that I am there at least 10 minutes…

Every worker knows the woes of all the varieties of customers that pass through their job. These customers’ that pass through restaurants and fast food places can be classified into five groups; these groups have been named the “Understanding”, the “Perfectionist”, the “Can I Speak to your manager”, the “Grandma/Grandpa”, and the “Trash”. The understanding customer is quite possibly the best customer to ever come into the workplace. This type of customer is always understanding of the…

Living with depression is comparable to living in a state of isolation and despair. In the story “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” Ernest Hemingway tells the story about two waiters who banter back and forth about a regular customer who frequents their café to drink. The younger one is judgmental and agitated, while the older one is more understanding and compassionate. Through the use of symbolism, setting, and dialogue, Hemingway presents the theme that living with depression is challenging.…

A hero doesn’t need to have superhuman abilities like flight, superstrength, or invincibility. The attributes of a hero can be anyone who follows superb morals, make an effort to help anyone, and help make a difference in our world. The definition of a hero is based on people’s opinion of what a hero do to help people. While some people believe that a stereotypical comic superhero is a definition of a hero, others believe that a hero can be anyone. Ernest Hemingway, the famous author for a…

Each restaurant that you have ever been to has its own personality and aspects to its personality that make it unique. The small, homey café down the street is obviously not going to have the same feel as the chain restaurant where the waiters purposefully insult you for fun. Despite their differences, successful restaurants continuously draw people in because of their good food, pleasant atmosphere, and surrounding area. Although the food is the main attraction at a restaurant, those other…

waited but walked around the mall. If we went anywhere else it would 've been the same. After a wait, we were seated and the manager said "enjoy your meal." I replied..."we better, it was a long wait!" (Insert chuckle). As crowded as they were, the staff was friendly, the food came out promo and nothing was wrong. Everyone was happy and it was good! The wait was worth it!! The were on the ball on a crowded pre-love celebration night. Kudos!” (Massachusetts…

All humans have feelings of despair and worthlessness. As we mature, we have more substantial periods of worthlessness. In Ernest Hemingway’s “ A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”, we get an inside look at the relation between old age and feeling worthless. Old age promotes feelings of worthlessness. The old waiter is not rushed in his actions at the café, as he knows the struggles of the old man, and this causes him to drink alone at a bar. Old age supports the delay in critical actions. The old…
