In many places QR codes have partially replaced servers as you're now "directed" to pay via a link supplied via said QR code, a job that used to be carried out by said servers until not that long ago.
- jinushaun 2y agoYes. And runners aren’t servers.
- paganel 2y agoI'm not a native English speaker so I had to search for the exact meaning of "runners" vs "servers", enough is to say that I've never been to a restaurant where those two roles were different, and I suppose that the majority of the restaurant-going population shares my experience. Or maybe in the US there is indeed a distinction being kept between "runners" vs. "servers", but truth be told I've never seen it in place here in Europe.
- JohnFen 2y ago> Or maybe in the US there is indeed a distinction being kept between "runners" vs. "servers" I've lived my entire life in the US and I've never heard of this distinction either. But I've also never heard the term "runners" in this context either, so perhaps the commenter is talking about a different sort of restaurant than I go to or something.
