...at the one (Thai) restaurant that I now work at:
1) A (well-dressed) (well-mannered) (grad student-age) (male) (South Asian) student comes in to inquire about work, and when I offer an application, he seems surprised, declines, and leaves.
(Did he expect an informal economy allowing him to work off-the-books, so he could get income without any paper trail that would violate the terms of his visa?)
2) It's clear by now that many (Chinese from China) students expect to seat themselves, but more than that, to sit at the table, raise their hand to call over a waiter, and then place their *entire* order at that point (including dessert), and to raise their hand at the end when they need the bill and want to leave, after which they occasionally take it up to the register themselves.
(I assume this is how you behave in restaurants in China?)
