Waiting tables is meaningful work. It is capitalism that turns such roles into 'service'.

servers in the US have to worship customers so you probably have a bit of a warped view

If people weren't working 60+ hour weeks waiting tables (and everything else) they might find richer sources of interaction

I'm not arguing that anyone spend 60 hours a week doing anything, but serving someone food is a rich source of interaction, and an art that can be perfected over a lifetime. Just because capitalism has already turned workers into vending machines, doesn't mean that's how things ought to be
