For a long time, the standard path to success was defined by attending college before accepting a salaried career. In recent years, particularly amid the COVID pandemic, many began questioning the need for a college education. While Nick attended University in Montreal, neither Noelle nor George went to college. Join the trio as they discuss whether paying for higher education is worth it and answer questions, including:

• Has attending college supported your career in any way?
• Is higher education a scam?
• Is field experience more valuable than learning in a classroom?
• What are the benefits of moving out of your hometown after high school?

The potential for debates is endless when it comes to the psychology of ordering. But when deciding whether or not to order dessert, what are the impacts of a written menu vs. verbal specials? George, Noelle, and Nick are answering questions, including:

• Does having dessert make customers more likely to order coffee after their meal?
• Are you more likely to order dessert when given a written menu or verbal specials?
• How many options should restaurants include on their dessert menu?
• Do you care if desserts are outsourced or made in-house?

Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of being a human is having opposable thumbs that make it easier to grasp and manipulate objects firmly, but when you’re serving tables, the standard is only to use them for stabilization. Noelle, Liz, and Nick are getting handsy and answering etiquette questions, including:

• What is the proper use of thumbs while delivering plates at a restaurant?
• Do you require your servers to use trays when delivering drinks, food, and/or extra utensils?
• How have cleanliness standards changed in restaurants since COVID?
• Are you grossed out when bartenders use their hands to add garnish to your drink?
• As a customer, have you ever grabbed something – be it fruit or something else – from behind the bar?
