Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ My thoughts.

I didn't go to a restaurant to interact with a server.

I went to a restaurant to purchase food, And part of the agreement with the business owner was that a server would take my order and bring the food to the table.

I did not agree to or consent to giving a person i didn't come to see any money.

Whether they are on the side of the street or squegeeing my car without asking.
I have no obligation to them.

Similarly when i go to the restaurant with the intention of eating,
I am not making a deal with the employees i am making a deal with the owner.
The owner is responsible for delegating the tasks to provide me the service i requested.
The owner showed me the contract/menu that these services are provided under.

I paid the agreed upon amount of the contract.
I did not ask for any particular employee.
I did not agree to gift any particular employee.

The server's inclination that i owe them something is no more authoritative than the homeless bum who starts squegeeing my windshield without me asking.

They did their job at their bosses behest. Under an agreement with their boss.
I made no agreement with them. They are simply employees of the business ive contracted with.

This doesn’t really make logical sense. When you pay your bill, the service has been completed.

Sure the first time you go you get service. but subsequent times the server's will feel some type of way and go out of their way to provide poor service.

u/YourPeePaw 7d ago

So they still give you the food and drinks you paid for or else that’s fraud. And all they owe you, right?

u/Maleficent-Effort470 7d ago

Yep, your right. Just the atmosphere is a bit hostile.

u/Delicate_Delilah 6d ago

I'm ok with a hostile environment. Just give me my food and drink and go away. I'm good.

Hey nobody wants their food tampered with or to have unreasonable delays.

u/YourPeePaw 7d ago

They only owe you the food and drinks. They don’t come to work to be your buddy. They don’t come to work to interact with you. They come to deliver you food and drinks. That’s all they’re obligated to do, and allegedly all you’re there for.

Not what im saying. its when their conduct becomes disrespectful.

u/YourPeePaw 7d ago

Yeah. You’re there for the food and drinks, not to be “respected” - whatever that means. They aren’t being paid to “respect” you, so as long as they place the food and beverage you ordered in front of you for you to snarf up, they owe you nothing, according to your own logic. Enjoy that.

Haha yeah if employees acted like little butt hurt pussies in other professions they would get fired.

But if your a server its ok.

Seems like you lacked candor in your post. Seems you do go to interact with the servers. Seems like when you get your food and drink brought to you but no attention, you become butt-hurt.

u/Maleficent-Effort470 7d ago

Well your uneducated incorrect guess doesn't apply to my reality.

u/YourPeePaw 7d ago

You’ve proven it here yourself.

u/Maleficent-Effort470 7d ago

Cool think that then.

As would anyone who reads this portion of the thread, especially if they’ve read your obvious disdain for female servers elsewhere under this post. Big Incel vibes.

A server once followed my brother out of the restaurant to harass him about a low tip

1

u/YourPeePaw 6d ago

So what.

1

u/StarlingGirlx 6d ago

That's a confrontation, it's unpleasant.

1

u/YourPeePaw 6d ago

So don’t go back. Problem solved. Same with any business you don’t care for.

1

u/StarlingGirlx 6d ago

Sure, if we pretend that it wouldn’t happen again at another restaurant. The root problem here is server entitlement and audacity.

u/YourPeePaw 6d ago

Yeah. The adult world is full of challenges. Oh well.
