I think it makes you give them more attentive service too - so it pays off for both sides! Caz - it does make you feel good when customers remember your name.

After all customers love the extra attention of them knowing and being familiar with them. It's like their loyalty has paid off. It's also nice when customers come in and remember the servers name too. Makes me feel like they tool the effort and time. I think this is very important.

I struggle with the common names mostly.. Waiter ex - i reckon as long as you give them something (ie. what they eat and drink), that's a pretty good start to developing the rapport. Purple Girl - life would be so much easier if we introduced the name tag to society - good idea! prob won't catch on though...

I try with the names, but I think because I'm very visual in my learning I don't remember them. If people had to wear nametags I think I'd do better. :) I suck terribly at remembering names, but I often remember orders and modifiers.

I have trouble remembering names unfortunately. I can remember what they eat and drink though. I have had better success in dining rooms where I see the people more often.

It's not a name they are used too so they have a hard time saying it. I mean people in general in this town. "NA -SEEM" Maybe I should tell them my name is Nas that way we can have a rapport and my experience at the restaurant could be even better. And yes I would leave a bigger tip too.
