xxce2AAbI respect it. I’m not looking to be served by an outright asshole, but I’m no fan of servility or unnecessary deference. As long as he gets the job done, he’s welcome at the table any time. Hell, join us for the meal, make light conversation about the history of the place. It’d be memorable.
ScubusYou had me until the history bit, I don’t want some minimum wage worker doing their best to give me the corporate spiel. If you’re gonna sit at my table while im eating and talk, tell me something about yourself.
untorquerIf they’re the owner or a dedicated employee and they’re passionate about the restaurant then i think it’s fine. As long as it’s a single location with a history.
in the same vein, there was one restaurant i used to go to where the owner would regularly show up, cook and serve food, and insult the customers in a charismatic way. He was really good at it too. If you told him to eat shit he’d tell you to fuck off and enjoy your food.
I completely agree with you for any chain tho.
