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

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.

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 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.
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.
I don’t really approve of their behavior because it’s sending “you don’t know how to do your job” vibes among other things. They could’ve just signaled to their server and asked for a status update.
I know as a programmer, I’d be pretty annoyed if someone shoved my chair out of the way to start typing the code themselves. No mechanic is going to be happy about a customer grabbing tools and doing their own work.

Because there's no such a thing as unskilled labor, some people believe that you can wait tables without training, and that people duck as waiters.
Plus they clearly hate the job so it makes me feel as if they are making me a favor.
That said, probably the job pays terribly and that's the reason why this happened in the first place.
I want competent waiters with competent salaries.
Friend of mine is a waiter who says things like “give me that two dollar minimum wage any day with tips.“ Says he makes more than anybody else in the restaurant except the owner. But again, this is skilled labor as you say, I couldn’t just go in and be the same caliber with no experience, he’s been doing this decades.

If you're going to throw your money away, throw some this way. I haven't paid someone to carry food to me in like a decade. It seems like something from another world now.

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