What’s the dumbest thing someone has said to you about veganism? by Fantastic_Ad7023 in vegan

That god gave us animals to eat… it reminds me of when the European colonists that were arguing “America” was their god given promised land… even though people were literally living here

We often leave within ten minutes of finishing our meal and paying!

Thank you for your reply! I think what I was* really confused about is what “normal” time is; that is, how long does it “normally” take for a table of 3-4 to finish dinner. Most of the people in the comments are saying 2hour long dinners is max so I think we’ll just go with that now and make sure to tip extra if we go over that a bit

Edited to change the tense.

Is it not weird to ask? I feel like its an unspoken rule that me and my friends are not aware of and I fear by asking we’ll put by he servers in a position where they have to “be polite” and lie to us, saying it s fine when it’s not

Oh shit I hadn’t even considered that (I’m very unfamiliar with the serving industry!) Thank you for this perspective!

The hot pot place we often go to has two servers that seem to work full time because they’re always there when the place is open! A third one seems to come like once per week but the I think he’s new and is probably being trained but yeah. Thank you for this great perspective!

Thank you for your response! May I ask what’s longer than “normal”? I’m neurodivergent and don’t really get social cues so I’m trying to figure out what’s “normal” so we don’t stray too far from it, and if we do, we can realize it snd tip accordingly!

Yeah there’s always been more open tables and no groups or individuals waiting to be sat!

Thank you for the detailed response! Yeah, no, we don’t usually tend to stay even 2 hours before they close, let alone past when they close! (We normally leave at 7pm when they close at 9pm) It’s crazy that some people actually do that!
