How you order a diet coke in this world:
Monday, February 15th, 2010Usually, it is easy to tell whether the diet coke comes from a fountain, glass pop bottle, can, or in the worst of cases, a plastic 2 liter bottle. This tip only applies at a restaurant where you plan to order al dente or such other nomz.
Ice: if the soda is from a fountain, it is probably a good idea to order ice, since it tones away the fact that your coke will be watered down.
It is also good to accept or ask for ice in the case of the dreaded 2 liter plastic bottle since they usually are kept outside the fridge or in a low-budget cooler.
Lil glass bottles and cans r always a win ^.^ you can even save water by drinking from them!
How to ask for a soda that will likely be brought to you appropriately:
NEVERS EVERS begin your initial sentence with “I will…” “I’d like…” “I …” because unless youre a child, this will make you seem like an asshole.
Just name what you desire, and the server who is trained to know that you are there will naturally follow suit.
Always say please and thank you. DUH.
Yea, there are servers there out to get you, especially if they know you always will tip out of custom, and really all they like is special treatment. In such case, ask them how their day is going even before ordering anything. Isn’t the mood of the place the first thing you care about before even sitting down? Right??
