...1960s American diner theme[1] accompanied by various memorabilia of the time. It was founded in 1998 with the opening of its first branch in Achrafieh and now has ten dine-in branches and four delivery centers. Roadster diner is an ISO 22000 certified company since 2004. This diner chain offers a choice of dishes like salads, burgers, fajitas, platters, etc. The service is generally correct, but you have to be used to call the waiters when you’re ready to order or need something, because it’s a busy place and you may not be noticed easily. The ambiance is retro, with Elvis portraits and old photos of US diners and old American music.

...but still give the feeling of isolation and loneliness. The painting offers a viewer a series of tantalizing series of mysteries, and urges them get creative and solve them. Every fiction inspired from this painting has evolved around the four pivotal characters present in the painting, so does my interpretation. A fan of science fictions and fantasy novels, I have modeled my interpretation while taking inspiration from them. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, here is my nearly thousand words inspired by Hooper’s Nighthawks. September 11, 2016 I still remember this night like yesterday, as I passed by the corner of a Subway that used to be one of my favorite diners in Greenwich village+. The one with the big curved window, it’s not there anymore, of course. But back in 1972 it was a diner, one of the best in the whole of New York, well in my opinion, and an unforgettable monument of my mysterious memory. It was a usual late night working at the Gazette, and as always Phillies was open all night long. I was sitting in my usual seat finishing my cup of coffee and waiting for Phil to come up with my slice of ham and cheese quiche. Phil made good coffee and decent subs, but boy, did he make the best pie. It was just me and Phil, late on a Tuesday night when this couple walked in. The fella was wearing a dark blue short Crombie-style coat, with red lining, dark blue trousers, a long collared white shirt buttoned to the top with no tie, and brogue boots, and looked...

...1. Returning trays may be counterproductive Diagram 1 Many hawker centres have narrow passages spacing hundreds of seats out. It is already a hassle to weave in and out of the crowd safely with our food-filled tray to avoid spillages on our way to our table, which coincides with Diagram 1 whereby the cat (commonly believed to be afraid of water) has to navigate around the puddle of water in order to get to the other side. Returning trays ourselves may exacerbate this situation, leading to congestion. This becomes more evident when tray-return bays near popular stalls are full, and more movement is needed to search for empty shelves. NEA could launch a campaign to promote the habit of clearing food waste and bones from the table or tray into used plates or bowls after a meal for a start, to facilitate cleaners’ work when tray return is still unviable. 2. Inconsistency in tray-return behavior Diagram 2 For generations, service has been an invariable for patrons to food courts and hawker centres that trays and tables were to be cleaned by cleaners which can be reflected by the Egyptian-like inscriptions on the wall observed in Diagram 2, signifying the ingrained mentality that many Singaporeans carries. Similarly, graciousness or at least, the tray-returning behaviour has been inculcated in us at a young age. The irony is that we return trays in schools but we do not practise it once we are out of the compound, such irony is closely linked to the picture that...

...tipping custom whose reason is tipping provokes conflict between servers, tipping should continue because it gives servers an incentive to work hard. In America’s restaurants, the custom is giving a 15% tip (To Insure Promptitude) to the servers. Every year 42 billion dollars of tips were granted to American servers, whose income greatly depends on tips. Recently a manager of a famed California restaurant, Jay Porter, decided to prohibit tipping. The price then included the tip, which is 18%, 15% of which belonged to the servers and the rest went to the kitchen staff. Research reveals that 80% of American diners favor tipping as they think tips incentivize servers to do good service and they feel guilty being served. From 10% in the early 20th century, the tipping rate has increased to18.9% today. While most of Mr. Porter’s customers accept the new policy, very few diners were still obliged to tip and that money went to the charity. Nonetheless, Porter’s restaurant is the only pioneer in the area and it will not likely draw many followers. Some opponents of tipping say that tipping does not create incentive but conflict. However, conflict only occurs when there is lack of supervision or proper operating system, which is the manager’s responsibility. Those who view tipping as initiator of conflict argue that employees can compete for tables with the potential best tip. Granted, when servers fight for extra money they will create a hostile and stressful workplace as well as reduce...

...Americas Diner Lawrence Smith DeVry University Dr. Spicer Advanced Composition September 8, 2013 Being a displaced New Yorker I have dined at many five star restaurants. Since moving to Western Maryland to say a good restaurant or diner is few and far between would be an understatement. I recently had breakfast at Denny’s, a family diner set in the 1950s timeline. Over the next couple of paragraphs I will evaluate my overall dining experience at this restaurant and go over the service, food and, expense of this particular Denny’s. As with any decent restaurant a hostess is waiting for you at the door so as to seat you upon entering. As my girlfriend and, I were escorted to are seats we could not help but notice the fine art of 1950s style car paintings and, little snippets of memorabilia. As we were seated a smiling face asked if we would like drinks. My girlfriend wanted sweet tea and, I requested a Coca-Cola. The waitress was off to get are drinks and returned without delay in less than two munities. It was at this time she asked if we were ready to order. We both declined as were not ready. That was only the first of four times that I counted before we were ready and, we had only been their seven minutes before we ordered. I felt like I was being rushed out. Then while eating she asked us no less than ten times if everything was ok. I understand that a server should ask the guest how everything is or if the guest needs something but, it felt like...
