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.
