American service must be that way because the variance in the behavior of the customers is so wide.

How many French customers ask for gluten free water with a straight face?

How many French customers request a cube of ice to plunk in their merlot?

How many French kitchens stockpile frozen nugget-shaped food items because families expect them to tailor to the needs of their screaming toddlers?

An American server will effortlessly deal with all three while politely denying entry to the woman who is yelling about the constitutional rights of her emotional support goat.

If American economy is slowly becoming Arrakis from Dune, our wait staff is the Fremen.

The people who can destroy a thing, they control it.

So tip them well.

I see a lot of points add about emotional support animals and the stories around that (in planes, restaurants, etc.).

I need to read about these more as they are inexistant in France. Maybe this is a thing, I just never seen or heard anyone mentioning it.
