The cardinal rule here is simply to be as personable, cordial, and informal as possible. Frankly, I think that last one is probably the most important piece of the pie, simply because it will help to set you apart from other customers at whatever establishment you’re patronizing.

For some reason, we Americans have this weird way of interacting when a professional or commercial barrier is placed between us.

When you’re ordering at a restaurant, the bottom line is that you’re one human talking to another human, and together, the two of you are trying to accomplish something. All too often, I see people trying to place an order with an abject formality that simply makes me want to puke. I sure as hell don’t want to be that formal in a one-to-one interaction, and based on my personal observations, the guys and gals at your favorite lunchtime joint don’t care to deal with that kind of formality either.
