Fucking run

Man, I don't even feel comfortable grabbing my own plate at a buffet.

The whole ritual of being served at a restaurant makes me queasy. But I'd never dare interfere in it. Never!

Also, when the food takes long to arrive it's a good sign: they took time to prepare it.

Or it sat in the window too long waiting for a runner and now it’s cold (sadly, I’ve had this happen more often than it simply taking a while to be prepared).
- I didn't consider that. BF's behavior actually makes sense in that case. I guess I never eat at restaurants that are that full. But seeing OOP's picture, neither do they.
Or they're slammed and your burger comes out dry because they cranked the grill up to cook things faster.
I don't go out to eat at peak hours anymore.
Yeah me too, but I can’t help but not try and hand them plates to clear and get them all in order.
I don’t know what but I don’t like being waited on like that makes them feel like servants to me but we are equal.

Now we have beige flags? Soon there'll be burnt umber, fuscia, striped, herringbone, and eventually they'll have gone to plaid.

My Chilean flag is that I enjoy back scratches.
- My Chilean flag is that
  digo weon muchissima mas que los otros español hablantes.
- Is a Chilean flag just a really narrow strip of fabric that runs down the entire length of the flagpole? If not, it should be.
I'm waiting for the swiss flag. It's a huge plus
I'm waiting for houndstooth.
My cirulean flag is that I want more flag types.
I look for yellow ochre flags.

The redness of this flag is 100% dependent on his demeanor, it could easily go either way. If I'm working and a customer volunteers to help me do my job in a manner that is clearly not hostile or insulting I'd call that a good thing.

I can't think of any way doing this regularly could be a good thing.
- I can't think of any way doing this ever would be a good thing.
- You can't imagine a scenario where a person choosing to politely and cheerfully assist you with your job would be a good thing? Sounds like a failure of your imagination specifically
This would freak me the fuck out. Let me do my job, please and thank you. You don't work here.
- You sound fragile
Do you work in the hospitality industry?
- Not currently, but I worked front and back of house for several years at sit-down restaurants, plus fast food back in high school. If someone volunteers to make my job easier and isn't a jerk about it I don't see any reason to be upset, seems pretty simple.
There's literally no way for someone to do this that's not hostile and insulting.
- You are wrong
He can be used as excuse for some shitty manager to fire someone "look how slow you are, the client had to come itself to take the plate. Don't bother coming back tomorrow"
- This is the first/only good point I've seen here as to why this would be a bad thing to do regardless of legal liability or his demeanor or intent. Management don't need a legal or moral justification to be assholes.
I would add that regularity and familiarity are key as well. How often does he do this? Is it at restaurants where he is a regular and knows them? If he's a regular who does this occasionally, probably fine. If he hangs out by the kitchen of every Applebee's or Cracker Barrel he wanders into, he's a serial killer probably.
- These are reasonable follow up questions to ask, we do not have enough info
Per the post the boyfriend is doing this because he is impatient not because he is nice and trying to genuinely make the waitresses life better.
- Both can be true though. He could be doing it because he's impatient, but doing it in a way that makes the waiter/waitress's life better.
- Impatient =/= rude or hostile, per the post he's smiling with no visible indication of anger or displeasure, you don't have a clue what his motives are or how nice he may or may not be about it
Bruh you're an .ml why are you stanning a scab.
- Scabs get paid, words mean things, dumbass

Imagine his partner is in labour for hours. He gets impatient and just grabs a baby from the nursery and brings it to her with that smile. Like I’m hundred percent sure that if he does this regularly he has grabbed plates that were meant for other tables.

He gets impatient and just grabs a baby from the nursery
You don't want to know how often that really happened!
Uhh... I did most things in the hospital before my wife gave birth. The nurses were simply too busy so I started helping with the small stuff and then they said ohh thanks when I'd adjust the baby heart monitor and other sensors that randonlu went off. I of course made sure it was ok with them.
Yes I'm sure this guy has trouble remembering the face of their waiter and talking to people, he just goes and grabs shit randomly. Spot on deduction, Watson!

That's actually annoying as fuck.

How's his patience behind the wheel of a car?

Ask him if he wants to come back to the kitchen and wash his own dishes while he's at it.

Yeah this is unacceptable behavior. That said I think this is something that ought to be just explained to him because he might legitimately be a total dumbass.

That said I wish more restaurants were like Fuddruckers or Firehouse Subs and just let me grab my food from the counter myself once it was done. I don't really want to pay someone to carry my food & drinks to me and be possibly insincerely nice to me to increase their tip or whatever.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL
I repeat
THIS IS NOT A DRILL

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH
(wtf is that even supposed to mean)

9 times out of 10 this douche bag would grab another tables order, or mess up serving flow because he thinks his brain is operating in a different level than the lowly servers.

What if the table that was sat before you had the same order as you, you impatient asshat?

Stay at home and nuke burritos if you are too childish to wait your turn.

This looks like the guy is self-reporting.

To some people everything is a red flag. Bro is just hungry and helpful

Helpful what. That's super weird and annoying and nothing else. He's not any faster carrying two plates to their table than a server, and how can they trust him to not fuck it up, grab the wrong stuff, touch other guests' plates...

Hey people with ADHD, this dude has your number and how to set you off. Look into his comments to see how he's troll baiting you so you might catch it and downvote and move on after the second comment.
This isn't your fault, but I'm trying to save you some anger. We're getting really popular again, this is going to happen with other stuff too.
Do you also walk back to the garage and start working on your car if the mechanic is taking too long? Do you deliver your own mail if the mail person is taking a diffrent route? Do you go back and cut your own meat if the butcher takes long? Do you start operating on yourself if the doctor has another procedure?
No? Then sit down and wait like a normal person
- If the massage before yours is taking too long do you go in and finish them off?
Impatience is a selfish and bad trait. His behavior also may indicate his poor control over his biological urges.
Some people prefer different types of dining experiences for different types of occasions.
I like shitty fast food, but I also like a nice restaurant. Depends on many different factors.
The day we forgo waiters in favour of fast food everywhere is the day I die
- I'm removing this comment to keep it nice in here and I'll take care of the rest.
