Failing the Waiter Test

If you're one mean bastard, it might be better to stifle your natural aggression when dining out with someone important: lots of CEOs believe that the way people treat waiters is an excellent indicator of how they will act with their co-workers and subordinates.

If you hurl a salt shaker or two in the direction of the sommelier, you probably won't handle yourself well under stress when that big project is due. Hmm. Perhaps they would be wise to read our rules of etiquette for Americans traveling abroad before dinner, to give themselves a little schooling first.
