Drink up kids. Let's get this party started. I have another issue but I am sure this is just something that bugs me and not others. After the initial pour from the server I prefer to refill our glasses ourselves. Excuse the double post after not having any wine I still managed to click on the wrong post to comment. My comment belongs here. They often pour too much in my glass or they refill the glasses of the people who are not really wanting more. Of course you can speak up but often you are engaged in conversation (probably loud due to the fact they have plied you with so much booze to start with)and you don't even notice that the one glass you were going to have has now become your third. Just venting. Carry on. I know exactly what you mean about the pushing of the drinks. Drink up kids. Let’s get this party started.

Americans, at least under most circumstances, are used to not so leisurely a pace as diners in Europe. I think my main complaint is the waiter's combination of haste ("quick, get that drink ordered") and slacker attitude ("the bread will get here when it gets here, dud").

I actually prefer it when I am asked about a drink and given the chance to enjoy it before ever seeing a menu. A smaller point, of course, is that I'd prefer to order a wine that benefits from breathing early, so that we do not wait to open it until after the meal has arrived.

It's not at all unlikely the management hasn't told him much of anything at all. I wouldn’t be too sure the management has told him to do that.

In Germany, you can take as long as you want to order. Take as long as you want to eat it. Order dessert and/or coffee if you want. Smoke a butt. Whatever. Then - when you're ready - signal your waiter/waitress that you're ready to pay and leave. Very relaxing. But here in the States it now feels like waiters/waitresses are only interesting in flipping your table. "Here's the wine list. What would you like to order?" Uh, can you let me actually read it first?! Take your time! After living in Germany for three years, it still amazes me to note the difference in food service back in the States – my homeland.
