    The whole ritual of being served at a restaurant makes me queasy. But I’d never dare interfere in it. Never!

    Also, when the food takes long to arrive it’s a good sign: they took time to prepare it.

      Yeah me too, but I can’t help but not try and hand them plates to clear and get them all in order.

      I don’t know what but I don’t like being waited on like that makes them feel like servants to me but we are equal.

      Or it sat in the window too long waiting for a runner and now it’s cold (sadly, I’ve had this happen more often than it simply taking a while to be prepared).

        I didn’t consider that. BF’s behavior actually makes sense in that case. I guess I never eat at restaurants that are that full. But seeing OOP’s picture, neither do they.

          I don’t really approve of their behavior because it’s sending “you don’t know how to do your job” vibes among other things. They could’ve just signaled to their server and asked for a status update.

          I know as a programmer, I’d be pretty annoyed if someone shoved my chair out of the way to start typing the code themselves. No mechanic is going to be happy about a customer grabbing tools and doing their own work.

      Or they’re slammed and your burger comes out dry because they cranked the grill up to cook things faster.

      I don’t go out to eat at peak hours anymore.
