I heard "first come,first serve" many many times at restaurant about the waiting time of food serving. I like this idea because it is fair.

I have heard of the term and seen it used frequently, but as the article said it is most often used with serve, to match come, rather than served. Also, I found it interesting to read about the origin of the term.

I know of the term FCFS. I did not think such a simple phrase could cause such grammar confusion.

I like the term "First come first serve", because if you are at a place first and have been there waiting over a priod of time, I fell it is only right for the person who was there first and waiting patiently too get services.
