1. Sticky tables that never get washed with hot water and detergent and a well-wrung out dishcloth or sponge.
2. "Food runners" or sweaty kitchen workers bringing the platters of food who do not know which plate belongs to whom, as the "server" does. The runners bring out all the platters and stick them under people's faces or to grab and stare at, to figure out who gets what. I've had this happen at expensive places as well as cheaper ones. Serving should be done by the server.
