A while ago, I had something to say about the conversations I had with guests across the bar. Last night, for curiosity's sake, I kept track of every topic of conversation that came up with all of my guests. It was a slow night at the bar itself, but I did have a few guests.
As an aside, corporate policy is to refer to all customers as 'guests.' I guess I've internalized it. Good thing? Bad thing? Subject for another day's entry.
Anyway, here's a list of the conversation topics. Obviously, I'm not going to include the mechanical conversations at the heart of the ordering process. Those don't really count as conversations, as I understand the term. Everything on this list is outside the business of putting food and drinks in front of guests (directly, anyway).
What it's like living in Delaware
Weather x2
Chips and Salsa (awesomeness of)
Good book to movie adaptations
Different kinds of tequila
That's it. I didn't try to steer the conversations at all. Each of those topics was guest selected. Kind of a fun little exercise, I thought. I may do this again some time, but I think it's time to start expanding the orbit a little. I have no idea what tomorrow's topic will be. Google Trends is going to pick it out.
