Examples of waiters in a Sentence

1. S. J. Perelman:

   The waiters' eyes sparkled and their pencils flew as she proceeded to eviscerate my wallet – paté, Whitstable oysters, a sole, and a favorite salad of the Nizam of Hyderabad made of shredded five-pound notes.

2. Rachel Meyers:

   I’d get the cheesecake pancakes with a milkshake five times a week, most of the waiters wouldn’t give me a menu — it was like, ‘OK, see you tomorrow.’.

3. Seymour Britchky:

   Some of the waiters discuss the menu with you as if they were sharing wisdom picked up in the Himalayas.

4. Sarah Shepherd:

   What I think is really interesting about accents, mainly, is they kind of assign us immediately to a tribe, but they are this ever-changing social history as we're walking about -- what we've been through as well as what we want to get to, i personally change my accent all the time. Sometimes I do it just to mess with waiters by ordering every course in a different accent.

5. Sam Bompas:

   I'm kind of bored of every bar and restaurant opening in London that's down south American cooking, or Korean food, and it's staffed by waiters or chefs who've been on holiday somewhere and been inspired by it, and it having no real relationship to the local area or local history, or local meaning, so with' Alcoholic Architecture,' Alcoholic Architecture's about escapism and fun -- but at the same time Alcoholic Architecture's totally based on the local history.
