What’s the thought process of servers who don’t use a pad? For the restaurant it’s an added cost if the incorrect meal has to be discarded.

I was thinking of this thread today. I was at a restaurant on Lake Harris and the waitress did not write down the order, for 3 people. She did have to come back one time to confirm. As for reason, youth. Remember how great your memory was when you were 20. I think it’s that simple.
