Waiters were attendants at tables and would stand ready, waiting to undertake service. </p>\n<p>But there is also a sense of 'being vigilant' in the original definition of the word 'wait' . This forms part of the role of a waiter but wouldn't really apply if you're sitting at a table in a cafe, watching the world go by while the waiter does his rounds.</p>\n<p>So to this age-old philosophical question I would argue '\"no!\". You are not a waiter in the real underlying sense of the noun or verb. You are waiting, perhaps chatting, even musing! But you are not truly \"a waiter\". </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3xrgfb8x","appParentAuthor":"anonymousginger","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
