when you are served by human, it just brings certain je ne sais quoi.

i'm baffled both by the angle of attack and choice of an image (is this retweet of musk?)

Ah I knew the nostalgia reference but didn't realize at those locales they're separate roles. It's possible the places my friends have worked at are just trashy ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ. But most places I've been to I've definitely seen my waiter cleaning the tables and stuff, even if they have a lot of staff. I'd say decent odds I do spot bussers as some just disappear into the back, but I definitely see wait staff scrambling around cleaning too and doing all those things between orders.

But I also don't do much eating out that isn't trashy chains, and just about every diner I've been to has more of a skeleton crew than some haunted ghost ships so I definitely can see that influencing my perception.
