    Don't feel like I've ever been jilted when kilted.

    I too think sometimes I get better service. Certainly at places I frequent - easier for them to remember me.

    Did get what seemed like extra special service at a class restaurant down in Phoenix a few weeks ago. My lady and I are straight, but not narrow. We met a lesbian friend for dinner.

    There was a wild birthday party going on and the people at that party were gay guys. The waitress seemed to give special service to us....maybe she always was that good (a rarity around here), or was emphatuated with our friend, or thought I was gay because I was kilted.

    Sometimes, you just get great service.

    I was out recently with some friends and the waiter gave us amazing service and seemed particularly taken with me and my kilt. He made several comments about how good I looked in it.

    A new acquiantance commented that she felt the service and the attention were due to the kilt and our overtly gay waiter.

    And old friend of mine disagreed. He said that I always got good service no matter the gender of the server and even before I began wearing a kilt.

    She seemed perplexed, so he explained that I always got good service because no matter the gender of the waitstaff I have a bad habit of flirting with them mercilessly. I get excellent service, frequent freebies, and there's often a phone number on my copy of the check.

    Sadly, I don't even try to do it. And personally I don't think it's flirting. So I had to protest. I thought it was horrible that just because I engage the server in conversation and treat them like a real human being doesn't mean I'm flirting.

    The table erupted in laughter when the bill arrived. On the back was written a phone number with the note "Call Me" and a heart sign AND there was no sign of our desserts or coffees on the bill.

    What a sad comment on the world that simply treating someone like human being is considered a come on.

    But then, my mom was a shameless flirt too!

    hmm....sounds like a hell of a way to earn money for another kilt! I'll have to try that some day...

    I've never been jilted either. I have noticed extra attention from waitresses though.
