Discussing the education level or social status of others (including waiters) at the table may itself involve stereotypes or prejudices. If you want to avoid such topics, here are some suggestions： --- ### 1. **Change the subject and focus on the current experience** -**Example：** “Actually, I want to talk more about today's dishes. The seasoning of this soup is very special. What do you think? ” “Their service is very thoughtful and the speed of serving is also very fast, what do you think? ” -**Core logic：** Draw attention back to the current dining experience, not only to avoid evaluating others, but also to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. --- ### 2. **Emphasize the diversity of professional values** -**Example：** “I think there are no high or low occupations, and it actually takes a lot of patience and communication skills to be able to do a good job in service. ” “Educational background is only part of it, the key is that they can do their work professionally. ” -**Core logic：** Euphemistically express respect for the service industry, while guiding the dialogue in a positive direction. --- ### 3. **Use humor to resolve embarrassment** -**Example：** “Haha, I almost forgot all about my university knowledge, maybe they haven't settled the accounts yet!" ” “If you let me serve so many plates a day, I must be in a hurry. They are very good. ” -**Core logic：** Use self-deprecation or relaxed contrasts to dilute serious discussions and avoid confrontation. --- ### 4. **Express your position directly but politely** -**Example：** “Actually, I'm not used to discussing other people's private affairs. Let's talk about something else, right? ” “Everyone's life path is different, and there may be many stories behind it that we don't understand. ” -**Core logic：** Draw boundaries clearly but not sharply, while showing empathy. --- ### 5. **Guide attention to systemic issues (suitable for in-depth dialogue)** -**Example：** “In fact, many practitioners in the service industry are because of the allocation of educational resources, not their personal abilities. ” “If society can provide more vocational training opportunities, this kind of phenomenon may be reduced. ” -**Core logic：** Lead individual phenomena to structural discussions and avoid personal judgments. --- ### Key principles： -**Avoid judging others: **Directly evaluating the background of the waiter may appear to lack empathy and easily cause controversy. -**Maintain respect and boundaries: **Occupation and education level belong to personal privacy and should not be discussed. -**Take the initiative to control the topic: ** Naturally shift the focus by asking questions or sharing other experiences. Through the above methods, it can not only maintain table etiquette, but also convey the values of equality and respect.
