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.
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.
This would freak me the fuck out. Let me do my job, please and thank you. You don't work here.
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.
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.
I can't think of any way doing this regularly could be a good thing.
There's literally no way for someone to do this that's not hostile and insulting.
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.
Or it sat in the window too long waiting for a runner and now it’s cold (sadly, I’ve had this happen more often than it simply taking a while to be prepared).
Man, I don't even feel comfortable grabbing my own plate at a buffet.
This looks like the guy is self-reporting.
Imagine his partner is in labour for hours. He gets impatient and just grabs a baby from the nursery and brings it to her with that smile. Like I’m hundred percent sure that if he does this regularly he has grabbed plates that were meant for other tables.
