タイムズのブルーニ氏のブログに、以下の「Pet peeves at fine restaurants」が書き込まれていました。
●When servers fill wine glasses after you’ve taken only two sips. ●Visible television sets in upscale restaurants. ●Not pouring a taste of the wine when serving a wine by the glass. ●Being brought seven petit fours for a table of eight diners. ●Long-winded descriptions of the dishes being delivered. ●Taking a drink away when there’s still a sip or two left in it.
