Remember this story the next time you dine out.
>
> THE SPOON
>
> A timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for
> an organization...
>
> Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed
> that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt
pocket.
> It seemed a little strange, but I ignored it. However, when the busboy
> brought out water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his
shirt
> pocket, then I looked around the room and saw that all the staff had
spoons
> in their pockets.
>
> When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the
> spoon?"
>
> "Well," he explained, "the restaurant's owners hired Andersen
> Consulting, experts in efficiency, in order to revamp all our
processes.
> After several months of statistical analysis, they concluded that the
spoon
> was the most frequently dropped utensil. This represents a drop
frequency
of
> approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel is
prepared to
> deal with that contingency, we can reduce the number of trips back to
the
> kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift."
>
> As luck would have it I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace
> it with his spare spoon. "I'll get another spoon next time I go to the
> kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now." I was
rather
> impressed.
>
> I noticed that there was a very thin string hanging out of the
> waiter's fly. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the
same
> string hanging from their flies My curiosity got the better of me and
before
> he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why
you
> have that string right there?"
>
> "Oh, certainly!" he answered, lowering his voice. "Not everyone is
> as observant as you. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out
> that we can save time in the restroom." "How so?" "See," he
continued," by
> tying this string to the tip of you know what, we can pull it out over
the
> urinal without touching it and that way eliminate the need to wash the
> hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent."
>
> After you get it out, how do you put it back?"
>
> "Well," he whispered, lowering his voice even further, "I don't know
> about the others, but I use the spoon."
