Wine, women and restaurants

[Thomas]

Here's a trick my wife and I play. Sometimes she orders the wine, sometimes I do. When the waiter leaves to go get our order, we put both wine glasses in front of the one who did the ordering. The waiter gets the message real quick.

Of course, we do this at restaurants we already know tend to serve the male the taste, no matter who orders.

If we are unfamiliar with the restaurant, we give the benefit of the doubt. Then, if the waiter serves me and it was my wife who ordered, I slide my glass over to her and slide hers over to me, plus I say, politely, "she ordered the wine," hoping that he/she gets the message for the next time he takes an order.
