> Dining in person is in part (maybe large part) about the experience of being there and being served, even for lower budget fare. This is restauranting 101. If a restaurateur cares about their customers they'll set an appropriate rate limit on call in orders so that they can properly prioritize dine-in customers.
Yes, it's the restaurant responsibility to rate the customers coming in so that they can serve dine-in customers in a reasonable amount of time.
That doesn't entitle the dine-in customers to cut the queue.
> Do you not find it rude that when there's a long line at your favorite coffee shop or whatever, that people that come late order online using their phone then move over to the pickup? Getting served before the folks in front of them in the physical queue?
I do not know where you live but where I am, there are shops that have a separate queue for dine-in and take out. No one would bat an eye if you decide to go take-out instead for faster service
- jiveturkey 5y agotons of places like that near me. it’s the norm. but very clearly the parent is talking about places that don’t do that. and your earlier response was much more hostile than this. more like how dare he want good in person service?
- arvinsim 5y agoNot at all. I was playing devil's advocate and taking the perspective of someone who ordered online. They are as much as a customer as one who dines in.
