I only go to tsundere maid cafes for this exact reason.
the middle-aged Chinese lady at my local Chinese place always gives me the big bottles of kirin when I order one, even though I see plebs all around me getting the normal-sized bottles
she either likes me or she wants me to marry one of her FOB nieces and I'm cool either way
So which one are you going to marry?
She just wants your money, anon. You must leave big tips.
Kind of the opposite of my experience, Chinese places tend to be pretty gruff and abrupt and hipster white places feel like the waitress is overly nice fishing for tips. I don't care, I don't go to restaurants for the waitress to flirt with me, just something I've noticed.
gay and homosexed
the kind of asian people who open a restaurant are probably using it as a front for prostitution and opium money, either on behalf of Falun Gong, the Tongs and Triads, or the CCP. they want their customers happy and on their way without a fuss
>Falun Gong
Cult restaurants are the best restaurants, they’re always so crazy and sincere. I used to go to this Hare Krishna place, they were always giving me discounts and trying to get me to read their books and shit
my theory is that since cult restaurants can get free labor from cultists "volunteering" they can spend more on food and get the best quality stuff
>the kind of asian people who open a restaurant are probably using it as a front for prostitution
How do I get access to their secret menu?
Like with anything involving hookers, you will need a phone number and a reference.
I cant remember the last time i went to a restaurant and was pleased with the food or service
>Asian restaurants with good service
Is this opposite day? They're very polite but aren't formally trained because it's usually a family operated business. You just get the best food for the lowest price and accept it as part of the arrangement.
>not going out there with a Chinese friend that knows the language
if there's a will there's a way
This is the best way honestly. Dated a Chinese girl for a while and learned what all the good dishes are that either have no translation or inconsistent translations in different places
>waitresses are sociable
>always checking in, asking if you need anything
these are negatives though
i'm not there to talk to the wait staff
i'm there to eat and talk to my friends/family
wait staff shouldnt talk unless it's directly in relation to our orders
always checking in can fuck off too
leave us the fuck alone
WE'LL CALL YOU when we want you
This. Stop yakking at me in your incomprehensible accent and bring me my salt and pepper tendies, bitch!
>Why do asian restaurants tend to have good service?
Because you're a fucking limp-wristed beta pussy that commands absolutely zero respect in any other ethnic restaurant.
Yes famously personable asian customer service
If they're not fronts staffed by indentured servants or cult members, then they're likely family run businesses where they have a personal stake. Either way, enjoy these places while they last because they tend not to last.
sounds like an amerimutt problem
>post was deleted
remember when we used racial slurs in a jokingly endearing way and people would even refer to themselves as the slurs? the jannimals destroyed board culture
I barely go to restaurants any more, not because of inflation, but because of piss-poor service. Final straw was when I was in a restaurant with only a few other customers, plenty of waiters yet they all fucking disappeared when you need them. I waited for 20 minutes for them to clear my table and bring the dessert menu before I just said "fuck it" and walked out.
Why the fuck in this day and age do tables not have buttons for summoning waiters? IIRC, Jap restaurants have buttons for summoning waiters and tablets for directly ordering the food yourself!
Those wait staff most likely clocked in simultaneously and went on their (mandated) lunch breaks simultaneously.
The service worker shortage that's been going on since the pandemic continues. Only these days businesses trying to make do with minimal employees and hours. Not so much "hurr durr they don't wanna work."
>simultaneously.
possibly but doubt it. makes no sense to all go at once, then there is nobody to watch the store front and deal with people
That's the sort of thing someone could legitimately talk to a manager about. They make the schedules and allocate the hours.
>But why would some establishment choose to do business in a way that makes no sense?
Sorry you have to hear it from me, but most businesses are a fucking joke and the fact that they haven't all imploded is largely due to luck. I've never worked at a single company, food related or otherwise, that wasn't run like an absolute clown show behind the scenes.
Yes, humans are fallible.
Agree, pretty sure all business "succeeds" based on nepotism and networking, not competency. Bosses just knew the right people and were callous enough to use others for their ends.
Holy Jesus, this.
If you go into any business expecting shit to make any sense at all, you're going to come away thinking you have autism.
>went to a sushi restaurant somewhat often
>I'd always order the same thing
>the middle waitress was excited and said that was her favorite dish
>one day I show up and she immediately starts writing something down before I say anything
>tell her I want something different this time
>she looks visibly sad and disappointed
How could you break her heart like that?
