9 times out of 10 this douche bag would grab another tables order, or mess up serving flow because he thinks his brain is operating in a different level than the lowly servers.
What if the table that was sat before you had the same order as you, you impatient asshat?
Stay at home and nuke burritos if you are too childish to wait your turn.
Yeah this is unacceptable behavior. That said I think this is something that ought to be just explained to him because he might legitimately be a total dumbass.
That said I wish more restaurants were like Fuddruckers or Firehouse Subs and just let me grab my food from the counter myself once it was done. I don't really want to pay someone to carry my food & drinks to me and be possibly insincerely nice to me to increase their tip or whatever.
That's actually annoying as fuck.
Ask him if he wants to come back to the kitchen and wash his own dishes while he's at it.
This looks like the guy is self-reporting.
How's his patience behind the wheel of a car?
Now we have beige flags? Soon there'll be burnt umber, fuscia, striped, herringbone, and eventually they'll have gone to plaid.
I'm waiting for the swiss flag. It's a huge plus
The redness of this flag is 100% dependent on his demeanor, it could easily go either way. If I'm working and a customer volunteers to help me do my job in a manner that is clearly not hostile or insulting I'd call that a good thing.
I would add that regularity and familiarity are key as well. How often does he do this? Is it at restaurants where he is a regular and knows them? If he's a regular who does this occasionally, probably fine. If he hangs out by the kitchen of every Applebee's or Cracker Barrel he wanders into, he's a serial killer probably.
This would freak me the fuck out. Let me do my job, please and thank you. You don't work here.
He can be used as excuse for some shitty manager to fire someone "look how slow you are, the client had to come itself to take the plate. Don't bother coming back tomorrow"
This is the first/only good point I've seen here as to why this would be a bad thing to do regardless of legal liability or his demeanor or intent. Management don't need a legal or moral justification to be assholes.
There's literally no way for someone to do this that's not hostile and insulting.
I can't think of any way doing this regularly could be a good thing.
I can't think of any way doing this ever would be a good thing.
If the motivation is impatience, no, but I guess if you have a genuine desire to help people it could be a good thing.
as a waiter in a past life this doesn't really help a lot. i didn't double check your order, you are potentially in the way. if you drop shit you are fucking up so much i'd be kicking your ass out that door and you are on the list.
Per the post the boyfriend is doing this because he is impatient not because he is nice and trying to genuinely make the waitresses life better.
The whole ritual of being served at a restaurant makes me queasy. But I'd never dare interfere in it. Never!
Also, when the food takes long to arrive it's a good sign: they took time to prepare it.
Man, I don't even feel comfortable grabbing my own plate at a buffet.
