On a serious note at the Outbacks here I have never had a server set with me at anytime. First I've heard of this.

Instructing the server to sit at your table is one of the standard bits of shtick at the mini-chain Ed Debevic's in Chicagoland.

Okay Kagehitokiri, I am confused, are you saying that anyone who reads Playboy for anything other than the articles, columnists, and literary reviews is seriously behind the times, or anyone who reads Playboy for anything other than the photo spreads is seriously behind the times? What you said can be taken either way.

My dad looked at one young girl who sat down at our table once and said in a thick accent "do you need a nap?" When she went "huuuhhhh???" he explained "because you're so tired you have to sit down... I don't want you to drop food and burn yourself. You should go take a nap."

If I had been drinking something, it would have ended up all over the table...
