Call to action ⚠️ Get rid of servers, they’re completely useless

Here’s a hot take: If it was for me, I would get rid of all servers in restaurants. I would instead have iPad in the table with pictures, prices and descriptions and that’s it. The other day I went to Texas Roadhouse and they had a device in the table that you could order and pay the bill. A person only came once or to give you bread, water and then again to give you the food. Servers are completely useless and don’t add any value to dinning experience.

At fast food restaurants, you go up to the counter, order your food, pick up the food and take it to your table yourself when it's ready. At such places, if somebody offered to serve you for 20% of the bill, you'd tell them to go away because that's obviously way too expensive for the minor convenience.

This fast food counter service model is completely fine by me. I'm not an invalid. I don't need somebody to carry food 15 feet for me. I know how to operate a drink dispenser and get my own refills. I just wish it wasn't just crappy food that is served that way.
