Going to a bar is a lot of fun. For a waitress too. Unless you come up with one of those 'funny' remarks again, of course. Funny for you and your friends, that's for sure. But is it just as funny for her? She hates these four things.

Waitress
A female waiter, head waiter or service employee is called a waitress or a waitressin.
She serves drinks and meals in a catering establishment. She also takes care of the mise-en-place and carries out final tasks such as tidying up and cleaning.
A waitress or waiter, like her male colleagues, stands outside the social community of the guests. This means that she does not hear what the guests are saying to each other. bartender is that different; this person often actively participates in the conversation.

1. I'm not your date
It's funny how many men confuse the two, just because a waitress provides them with drinks, is friendly and a woman.
A tap on the butt or lewd remarks; many female waiters have had to endure this. For men, this may be a way to show that they appreciate the barmaid, but women are wired differently and usually take it differently. A waitress is not paid to flirt or do like she wants a relationship with you.

2. Will you pay me one?
Regularly paying for a round at a café is a matter of politeness. But asking a waitress to also pay for a round goes too far for most people.
Even if you are a very good customer. If you buy 100 rolls of toilet paper in the supermarket, do you also ask for some for free?

3. Don't order me to smile
Don't write it on a beer list. Or don't tell a waitress to smile more. A waitress has her hard days too. Not every day is a party, even if she works in a café.
She can't look like she's won the lottery every day. Like someone is going to tell you to smile more when you're sitting at your desk behind your computer. No, right?
4. And no, a lap dance is not on the menu
You can't order a lap dance in a café. No, it's not even funny to ask for it. Be polite, waitresses are just doing their job. And that is serving drinks and/or dishes.
