Wholesome waiter

$200 gourmet

15+ years of foodservice can explain this: the server has been in it at least a year and is looking for anything to free them from the monotony of the job; and they thought you were cool enough to be weird with. If it doesn't seem outright angry, the server thinks you are chill enough to treat as actual people (because 90% of people don't act like people when money enters the equation).
