“#’Don’t f–k with your waiter’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The talented actor Michael Ealy is a thoughtful and eloquent speaker on a range of different subjects. When we spoke for this week\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Renaissance Man,\u201d we covered his journey in Hollywood, books, theater, fatherhood and the current situation in America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there was one basic piece of advice that stuck with me, which dates back to when he was working in restaurants and still looking for his big break as an actor.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, never mess with a waiter,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to say what I saw, but \u2026 people f\u2013k with your food. You don\u2019t like it, you don\u2019t like your service, get out of there clean, don\u2019t eat. But don\u2019t f\u2013k with your waiter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

So true. You\u2019re not my friend if we go out to eat and you\u2019re rude to the servers. It\u2019s about respect. Tip well, people, and remember how essential the restaurant industry is to our daily lives. And if you feel like complaining, you have to understand: You\u2019re at the mercy of the person bringing your food or drink. Usually I cook meals at home, but that\u2019s why I never get delivery. When I order carryout, I\u2019m standing there to pick it up as soon as it\u2019s done. If they say it will be ready in 20 minutes, I\u2019m there waiting in five or 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ealy said all the time he spent waiting on those tables for two taught him how to read people and influenced his craft as an actor.<\/p>\n
