Yup, it's totally skeevy and...exploitative, would that be the word? The waiter HAS to cater to them, and they're taking advantage of that to fuck with him for fun. That's really shitty behavior no matter how you look at it. Way to pick your friends, LKH.

Also, part of waitstaff's job is to smile and be cheerful, patient, and attentive to customers no matter what's going on. I had guys hitting on me, usually in inappropriate ways, because they believed my "for customers" face and voice were genuine for them.

Yeah, and given what I can glean about her personality from her writing and posts, I can fully believe that LKH thinks a waiter acting like...a waiter...means he's into her or whoever he's being polite and friendly to. Honestly, I'm willing to bet he got flustered not being 'HOTNESS!' but because this table full of weird people is hitting on him. And even if the dude genuinely was into Daven, the entire thing still isn't cool.
