I'm on the other side of that.
I'm not paying to pretend be your friend I'm paying you to serve me my food get the fuck out of that chair... is my thought.
I had this happen to me once in San Francisco and me and wife were taken aback and offended.
lmfao
don't you know not to denigrate the lordship by seating yourself on equal elevation while receiving orders‽
It's a complete breach of basic social etiquette to sit down at somebody's table and talk to them like you know them, it's baffling to me that you don't get that- actually it's not that baffling really
I agree you shouldn't do it but to say you're offended is weird as fuck and wreaks of classism.
I was in hospitality for 15 years until I injured my back and had to leave the industry. I never sat at people's tables when taking orders, but do you have any idea what it's like to stand 10 hours a day, most days with no break at all? The amount of foot pain? And you get told off if you sit down even when there's no customers. Sometimes customers would rock up and get upset that I was sitting on a stool when it had been like 3 hours since the last customers had been through and I was doing stock take at the till. Like what the fuck. I'm not your servant, you're not paying nearly enough for that. Get off your high horse and get over yourself.
I now have life long back pain and nerve damage after spinal surgery at 30 because of the stress hospitality put my body through and people like you were part of the reason. Don't go out if you don't want to talk to people.
You're not paying them anything my dude they are labouring under capitalism like you are.
I'm taken aback and offended by your attitude and if that's irrelevant to you, congrats, you understand
Yeah right? This is the behavior that causes someone to get caught drunk driving and tell the cop "My taxes pay your salary, let me go"
Damn dude I honestly feel bad for you if this is how you view life lol. Sounds like a pretty miserable existence ☹️
What a rude thing to say, I don't think you feel bad for them at all, sounds like you just like being mean under the veneer of sympathy.

Pretend to be your friend? They were just taking your order. Why do you care if they are sitting or standing while they do?
Get angry at the right people.
