My boyfriend is a very nice guy. He helps servers do their job by piling the plates when we're done eating and leaving them at the edge of the table where they're accessible like a normal human being.

I can promise you from 10+ years of experience in the service industry, getting up to grab your own food, no matter how "polite" your intent is, is never, ever fucking welcome. Not only is it insulting and passive aggressive, but it can cause hazards for the customer and other servers, besides you could be stealing food that's not even your own. This is absolutely unhinged behaviour.

Editing to add a PSA: it's also never okay to take food off a server's tray. That shit takes balance and you will get food or drinks spilled all over you if you pull that shit.
