Especially with a good number of (East Asian from East Asia) and (South Asian from South Asia) (student) customers, they walk in and don’t realize there’s a seating system, and a lot of them go to seat themselves.
(Sometimes I let them know that we seat people, since it usually doesn’t matter, but sometimes people sit at tables that we keep for large groups who come in; I say that to clue them in but let them save face.)
Sometimes, too, they don’t realize that there’s a system
where we pick up their check at the table and run their credit cards or
whatever, and they show up at the register bearing the little black plastic
tray things that we put all that sh*t on, which you really don't do unless you have that scanny Apple Pay thing that a lot of the kids do nowadays.
(I wonder if all of this behavior correlates to bad tipping, since maybe they assume that the restaurant is more casual or cheaper than it is, perhaps because it’s “ethnic.”)
