this isn't the point of the article which is, in my opinion, a very good narrative of what its like to try to practice agile development in an organization with not very agile tendencies. it was just a way to demonstrate that this kind of request at least _can_ be made to a restaurant staff and you don't think "wow they're totally gonna blow it" but you'd rarely, if ever, see a product team make a similar request to a development team. great job to the author of this post for capturing this.
