    Once maybe twice, sure. Enough times for someone to make a post about it? I also wouldn’t say it’s a red flag but it’s definitely weird.

      Yeah, also:

      “Helps” as in asks the waitress if he can help when she brings the first dish? Ok, weird but ok.

      “Helps” as in walks up to the pass and looks for their order to grab it when the waitress takes the minute or two to make their rounds? Absolute “the rules don’t apply to me” burning red flag.

        Really sends the message to the server “you aren’t doing your job the way I like it, so I’m going to do it for you.”

        It’s very presumptuous to interfere in someone’s professional operations, and assume you know what’s going on. What if you pick up someone else’s order by mistake? Then the kitchen has to remake the whole thing because now it’s contaminated. Or if you take the food but leave the “ticket” there and the staff and kitchen get mixed up about what’s gone out and what hasn’t.

        Totally messing up the process and shows zero respect for the people doing their jobs.

        Sit your ass down and let the staff do what they do. The other customers are all getting their food no problem, and so will you.

          Traditionally, the word professional is usually reserved for someone who sits behind a desk, engaged in a “career” job. The word has changed but it was previously reserved for the careers you can only get after university, a “learned” profession.

          I say that because many think of waiters as a lesser profession, not a skilled job.

          One of my favourite restaurants closed recently but the staff there were definitely talented and had learned all the right communication with each other and patrons, they could answer any questions and knew how to avoid common grievances.

          You can be skilled at anything, and I’m constantly amazed by the little things people do to make others have a good time.

          Either this guys an impatient asshole or they made this up. Either way it’s not cute, it’s fucking annoying and is just a little control freak energy. Her not being able to work out its control freak energy means he’s probably with the right person.

            Agreed. People deserve to be respected for the job they are doing - no matter what that job is.
