What you’re describing is how it _should_ work. Instead every server feels entitled to 20% regardless of how bad their service is and it is frequently atrocious.

Besides, I’d rather have efficient and impersonal than (at best) fake nice.

Living in rural Spain service is chill. Am used to it by now. Went to an upmarket restaurant in France other day and it took me ages to realise the waiter was vibing me the whole meal for a tip. Such a weird transactional space. Person literally smiling and being agreeable for money. Insane.

And you think other hourly service workers aren't being that way to some degree? Lol.

Like plumbers, electricians, mechanics, carpenters/framers?

“Insane” is probably a bit strong
