Would you call this special treatment or professionalism?

[Radiate143]

A cook at my local kebab restaurant always gets my order out to me real fast, calls me over and hands it to me then double checks it even during the dinner rush. Also, I always get an appetizer while waiting.

We've also made some flirty eye contact, but that's it. He gets a little nervous when I say hi to him now and his Co cooks always keep an eye on me.

He wasn't there when I went in last and they had me waiting there forever, never called out my order and forgot it on the shelf. Then cook passing takeout orders was kind of scolding me for not saying something.

No free appetizer or super big smile either 😔.

And it was before the rush.

Also, before about 3 or 4 of the wait staff would try to flirt with me and the cashier guy would smile. But they stopped all that.

Special treatment or just a really professional cook?

Special treatment. Have you noticed him treating others like that? Probably not. That’s where the gender inequality comes into play. Women tend to get that in their benefit when men treat them that way because of their looks.

[Radiate143]

Ok. Yes, we'll men maybe shouldn't be so shallow and spoil girls whose personality appeals to them. Just like women have to stop being materialistic.

I'd say it's a bit of both. I'm fairly certain that you're a very attractive woman, so they have dual reasons for providing you with the best possible service.

[Radiate143]

Yeah, but only he gave me that service. I've felt like royalty and the difference in service when he was off shift was SO OBVIOUS!!

[Billlewis]

Alright, so there's your answer. And I'm glad you felt like royalty, because you should feel that way every single day, in my opinion;)

Oh and there was another waiter who was being super nice too but when he saw me. flirting with the cook he barely says hi now.

[Billlewis]

That is so incredibly hot! He probably knows that if the cook wants you, you'll choose him over the waiter. Isn't it fantastic to have guys competing for you?

[Radiate143]

No, I'm more happy about the fact that the cook *may* have genuine feelings for me. There was another waiter who was stsring then ignoring me for a year just wanting attention then barely talking to me. I think the wait staff were trying to get him to talk to me. So I don't know if it was a wait staff vs. kitchen staff thing...

[Billlewis]

Ah, okay. Now I get it.

[Radiate143]

Get what? I mean loke 6 or 7 of the staff would stare at me. And in the neighborhood if I crossed paths they seemed lkke they were surveilling me a bit. And it was weird how the other waiter would always seem lkke he wanted to chat me up but then wouldn't. I'm wondering if the cook was asking them to do that now.

[Billlewis]

I get what you just told me, that's all. I don't claim to understand anything else about the situation, because it seems pretty complicated.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Whether it's intentional or not, you should feel special! It's OK to think kindly of another person, it's better than to think negatively.

[collie22]

I like getting smiles. He's giving you special treatment 😊
