My biggest problem with sending food back is that now you have to wait while everyone else at your table eats. Then when your food arrives, everyone needs to wait for you while you eat.

This usually isn't too much of an issue if your table has a lot of people because you can just chat and the length of time to eat a meal is higher since you all are talking. But when you're on a date, it's super annoying and awkward.

That's such an American take. I've not once left within half an hour of everyone being finished eating.

I think it's hitting on with the fact that Americans are super impatient with anything and when they go to a restaurant they sit down they eat and then they leave there's no big wait period of socializing(usually), it also could be because it's frowned upon because we don't pay the waiters livable wages here, so for every minute that we're still sitting and not ordering anything we're taking money out of the Waiters pocket.

That's how ass backwards the US. But no the Tipping structure is apparently a better system lmao

You used the egocentric word "everyone" when you should have used the more inclusive word "everyall"
