Meanwhile, Jenny's out back huffing her Pall Malls talking shit about Alfredo lover...

This maybe a joke here, but if you have been in a cruise, you know how good it feels to get to your table and the server is already bringing you choice of beverage and maybe even the appetizer you always order.

Jenny, how predictable do you think I am? It's cider this time. Take it back!

One time one of the cooks at the BK I go to for lunch a lot recognized an error the person at the counter had made on my order. It made me happy that someone gave enough of a shit about me to remember my order but also made me think I'm probably going too often.

Jenny should have put pivot positions on her orders before heading off to break.

if you wanna feel special go to a higher end restaurant where they don’t “auction” food. But even they use food runners. This actually lets the waiter give you more personal time ya dummy.

I did feel very special at a high end restaurant, until the bill came. Then I realized I'm not rich enough to feel special more than once every couple of years.

That was me a few weeks ago celebrating a personal achievement with my family. The waitress was great though, I prefer not fancy places it seems. Steaks were good the bill was the price of an adequate graphics card.

Therein lies the rub. There are places that give you most of the experience without needing to donate your first born but they’re becoming scarce.

I have never ever even once known what a waiter or waitress's name was, are people asking their names or something?

That's creepy to say the least

I've had servers say "I'm so and so and I'll be your server this evening" but it's gone from my brain the moment they walk away

Ah I see it's probably a tipping culture thing

Interacting with another human being as it they were a human being instead of a servant bringing you food is creepy?

[–] Kbobabob 6 points 4 months ago

I almost always try to use the servers name if I can. it's better than just hey you or excuse me IMO. I have no idea why calling someone by their name would be creepy.
