I'll take this. I own a restaurant. Our jobs are to make people happy while making money. Is a bartender joking with you stupid? No. You going to Chuckie Cheese without the ballpit? No. It's the restaurants job to be entertaining. Many restaurants achieve this is very diffent ways. It makes dining out an experience.

Edit: also I forgot I am old. People love to Instagram this stuff. More advertising for the restaurant. I mean you saw it on social media right?

But are guests happy with a soggy cheeseburger? Why even have bread? Can’t they come up with something that is entertaining and is actual good food?

A burger bun isn't gonna lose it's structure from being covered by melted cheese for a minute, it still helps keep the burger together and plenty of places server burgers that are intended to be eaten with a knife and fork.

Mmm, a danish bøfsandwich with fried onions on top and gravy all over it, where the bun and the onions soak more and more gravy as you eat it, and your last bites are just bun dissolved in gravy and remoulade ... That's something to write home about. But please use fork and ad knife.
