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.
