關於Server的意思和用法的提問

A: Person who serves food. Like a waiter in a restaurant or cafe who brings you food after it is cooked.

A: Here is a picture of a man squatting. Sometimes servers will squat while taking your order. I have never seen a server sit at the table (on a chair) while taking my order. That would be really weird.

This person is claiming that servers will get a larger tip if they squat or sit. I think squatting might help a little bit, but not sitting.

A: Male: waiter
Female: waiter, waitress

Or you can just call them servers.

A: It means: "We're sorry. So many people logged in, our severs went down."

A: "The server's back on" is more common

A: “I would like to add” -it means, you want to add more or order mo

“I also would like to order this” -it means you would like to order this also

A: I think they usually say "Can I get you something to drink?", "May I get you something to drink?", or "Would you like something to drink?"

I often hear these expressions from waiters/waitresses. Hope this helps :)

A: No difference.

A: Well, a server is likely a waiter. A clerk is more like a receptionist. So if you are a server/waiter, you work in a restaurant serving food. A clerk/receptionist is someone who works in an office managing the phone and sometimes files. They can also be in charge of greeting anyone who enters the office.

A: No, when discussing loans "servicer" has a specific financial meaning and you can't substitute "server".

In a more general setting you could probably use them interchangeably.

A: They have similar meanings.

"Server" is now the preferred term because it is more general and gender-neutral. It can be used to describe anyone that provides or "serves" food/drinks.

"Waiter" is still used but it's a term that is usually specific to men. "Waitress" is the equivalent term for women.

"Waiter"/"Waitress" is more specific than "server"; a "waiter"/"waitress" refers specifically to a server that comes to your table to serve food (in a restaurant).

A: Do you mean in a bar? We don't really have "last order" in English for restaurants, but we have "last call" for orders in bars.

Normally, if a restaurant is closing for the night, they'll just tell the customer that it's closing time.

A: Yes, that is a common response. Sounds very natural :)

A: A natural expression would be - "Can I have a few minutes please?" or "Can I have some more time please?"

A: @yukari520129: "Tea, please." It's not rude at all.

You may also say, "I would like to have some tea, please. Thank you."

A: They can be called several titles:
Servers
Waiter/Waitress
Miss/Mister
Baristas
It depends, really. :)

A: The second one is incorrect
You need the “be” after might

A: It seems that the Lang-8 server has been restored.

A: If you are wondering whether the waiters introduce themselves before taking a customer's order then it depends on the restaurant/ fast food/ coffee establishment. At fast food restaurants and coffee shops the servers have name tags on, so usually they don't have to introduce themselves. At diners the waiters usually introduce themselves even though they wear name tags. At fancy restaurants the waiters will introduce themselves. There are a number of other restaurant categories I didn't include where the waiters/ servers often times do not introduce themselves.

A: Do you mean Coke? Like, Coca Cola? If so:

"Excuse me, but I didn't get my Coke."

You can also say: "Sorry to bother you, but I ordered a Coke." It's a bit more polite. The server will like that more.
