What I don't understand is the value people place on waitstaff being enthusiastic to serve you. I don't care, as long as you they take my order and check on my drinks.
- _DeadFred_ 3y agoThat value proposition is typically that the experience be enjoyable. What makes it that varies, hence a variety of restaurants to choose from. If I am inconvenienced and have to chase down wait staff then that nudges the experience to the 'non-enjoyable'. If I run out of something to drink while I am eating, that nudges the experience. If we are sitting and having after dinner drinks/coffee and talking, and are surrounded by dirty plates, that nudges. If we just boated to a restaurant after a day on the water enthusiastic comes to play (we want a happy fun experience). If it's a business dinner, enthusiastic could be a detriment. Glad to be of assistance my friend.
- devilbunny 3y ago> and are surrounded by dirty plates AHA! IT'S YOU! You're the person who has encouraged this bizarre behavior where waitstaff come to pull away my plate the second they think I'm done. No! Leave it unless it's completely empty, I've asked you to take it, or the next course is about to arrive.
- Dalewyn 3y agoBut you clearly care about the staff's enthusiasm to serve you?
- hooverd 2y agoI really don't care if they're smiling and bubbly as long as they do their job.
- anon23908203 3y agoI feel uncomfortable when people make me feel like a jerk for consuming their service, and I would rather opt out of the entire dining experience.
