You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together. That’s why going out to eat when you first start to date a new suitor is a smart idea. Does he talk with his mouth full of foie gras? Does he split the bill down to the penny – on a first date? But most important, does he treat the wait staff poorly? If the answer is yes, then run. Lack of respect for your server ensures a lack of respect for other people, including you.

Mr. Trump – are you reading this?
