Q: Why people have no respect for waiters at restaurant?

When I go to Chinese restaurant, I see a lot of people yell at the waiters and they are very disrespectful to them, or at least they sound disrespectful. Halp for input?

In 'Merica, being waiter is not the best job, lots of student work as waiters. In some other countaries, it takes a lot of study to become waiter.

What about China? Where are the waiters is the social scale? Sometime I feel bad for them. Maybe next time a waiter gets yelled at, I'll call him and give him a hug followed by the best high-five he never got!

It is a sign of superiority in social standing to yell at a waiter.

I'm always nice and friendly to waitrii (plural) because if I am rude to them, it's very easy for them to go out the back and put snot or pubes in my food, and I would just sit there completely unaware I'm munching on somebody's disgusting bits.

However, in noisy restaurants it's necessary to shout 'FUWUYUAR' at the top of your lungs in order to be heard and to get faster service. It's actually an unwritten unspoken game between tables, because whoever shouts the loudest will get served first, and less bogeys in their soup.

Chinese waitrii work very hard for the service of other people, but this is one of the Chinese dreams, 'wei renmin fuwu' 为人民服务 (Serve The People), so it's their pride to serve others, even if they are fat stinky Chinese guys just yelling and spitting and smoking. That's called culture difference.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
