How to ask an Officer to join your table?

[Sir PMP]

Just wondering-how do you request an officer or staff member to join your table for dinner? Do they actually enjoy this or do it out of duty?

 

 

Pay him!!;)

It's part of their job duties to schmooze the customers. This is a business like any other. Some are more gregarious than others and more sociable, but dining with pax is part of the job and not because they are dying to give up what would be free time to become part of your family. It's business entertaining, no more no less.

Because the majority of them, if not all of them, are still working during dinner times

 

That makes sense. I would also say that the Indonesian diet is a bit different than our diet.

To repeat an earlier question. How does inviting an officer work with open seating?

[PalmBeachMom]

The senior officers are assigned tables during the main dining and join their table during formal evenings. And yes, they provide nice wine for the table! If you want to be at one of those tables, have your TA request a table for 8 with an officer. It's not foolproof, but your odds are better.

 

As for open seating, if you have made the acquaintance of a certain officer with whom you would like to dine, just ask him or her and make your reservations accordingly. Duty schedules may interfere.

You just say, "...Hey there..water boy...bring the buck, buck, bucket here..." <BBBG>

 

JK, but that just came into my weird head!
