    What should I do if a guest likes talking to me more than his server?
    Community Answer
    It's all about giving the guest what he needs and trying to make the best experience out of it. There's nothing wrong with chatting with the guest, as long as it's not interfering with your other duties and if the server gets offended, just apologize for getting in their way (for the sake of a good relationship) and move on.

    Sure, why not. We're all humans. Don't have lengthy conversations and avoid debates, but you can certainly say a few words.

    This will depend on the tip-sharing system used by the restaurant. It may be determined by what the waiter/waitress made and how they feel you performed that day.
