And? Just like I said...

You haven't the faintest idea what their personal taste is so their opinion may be totally off base to what you want. It is also possible that the person serving you has no interest in food and works their to pay the bills.
Which part is wrong? You think at "better" restaurants the waitstaff are Michelin critics?

I couldn't care less what you do or don't do at a restaurant. I answered the question posed by the OP.
