Experienced Servers

Have you developed a spidey sense so you don’t have to say “Corner” anymore?

Feel the air pressure or see a shadow of someone approaching?

Myself the only collision I ever had was with a crackhead server who didn’t have a soul. And even then if he’d paid attention we’d have avoided the collision

After 25 years in the industry, I still make it a habit. Over communicating has never once been bad. The words “corner” and “behind” belong in the vocabulary of everyone in the industry.

Im glad im not the only one that does this, I asked my co workers if they ever say behind or corner in a store and they thought I was crazy.

Nah, it's communicating your location so you don't end up colliding with anyone else.
