Working in a restaurant has giving me insight on what the waiters are really thinking during the course of your meal. When you are at a guest at a restaurant it seems like everything is moving at a smooth pace and everything is running accordingly, but in fact, that is not the case.
Waiters have very stressful jobs, they must remember specials, ingredients, returning customers, tables, seat numbers, and prices. They have a lot of pressure on them to make a good first impression.
The waiters at my restaurant work for tips, This means they have to make the experience flawless, to work for their tips they can automatically tell when the customer is enjoying their hospitality at the restaurant or if they aren't. In many asian countries they do not require a tip and it is out of the ordinary, in restaurants it is a common occurance that ethnic customers do not tip, or leave a very small tip, even if their experience was enjoyable.

Being behind the scenes you get to witness the reaction to the waiters experience with certain customers.. sometimes they aren't so great.
Most serves tend to not enjoy having a table of young girls, because they often order appetizers, lowering the average cheque cost, and they do not the correct way to tip. Servers also do not like a large table with many small children who are unable to eat, thus lowering the average cost of the bill.
