Not currently, but I worked front and back of house for several years at sit-down restaurants, plus fast food back in high school. If someone volunteers to make my job easier and isn't a jerk about it I don't see any reason to be upset, seems pretty simple.
Untrained Customers 'helping' sounds like an imsurance liability nightmare.
I wouldn't trust a customer to have clean enough hands to roll flatware. Which would be more helpful than crowding the pickup window or drinks booth with strangers.
Folks who want counter service better skip table service places.
Liability for what exactly? If he's only handling his own dishes carrying them to the table then the end result is exactly the same as if he handled them at the table.
No way. He could spill hot food on a guest at another table, a staff member, or trip and hurt himself and sue.
He could do literally any of those things from his own table or while walking to the bathroom, the insurance/liability situation would be completely unchanged
Yeah, but in this case, the waiter will be given problems by the manager.
The restaurant is managing their liabilities, but the waiter needs to manage their own too, instead of just the restaurant's.
This is the first good point anyone's brought up so far, the legal liability implications for carrying a plate across the room to his table are negligible but management don't need legal justification for being assholes to their staff.
Nah. A folk like that can really can do a lot more damage standing and imitating workers than sitting at their own table.
Anyway, Amnesigenic, it's not hard to tell you've never been held responsible for an operation, perhaps not even your own actions. Sorry your joke broke down when it hit consequences town. Btw I suggest reading at least ONE ToS all the way through.
Anyway, definitely an air raid siren. Guy acts like Player 1 and doesn't even understand how the world works well enough to participate in a way that doesn't mess up everyone else's day. Just so he and princess of the week can feel special for ten minutes? Stay home and cook ig?
Nothing about the post implies he's imitating the employees in any way beyond carrying his own plate. Idk what you mean by "consequences town" the only consequence for me so far has been responding to/correcting people who are hellbent on assuming bad things about this person for which we have no evidence. You are unique in that you weren't satisfied making things up about him and felt compelled to imagine negative shit about me as well.
