The Tribune asked nine people at the National Restaurant Association show to answer this question: "What annoys you most when you go to a restaurant?" Most cite service aggravations, such as overeager busboys and long waits. One mentioned cell phones.
My favorite answer came from Ray Jarrell, an orange grower from Lake Wales, Fla.: "I like for the people to be basically like me -- to be themselves. And don't put on a big show."
I think we've already decided that we want to be ourselves, but if we can't, let's be basically like Ray Jarrell. Seems like a nice guy.
