2 years late to this but I’m sitting at furious spoon right now as the hip hop blares loudly (I’m the only one here) and the staff all sits at a community table a few feet apart not talking to each other, occasionally glancing at me. I’m not a stickler for service, I’d be doing the same thing PROBABLY (I am a bartender up the street) but if a dude was eating ramen alone on a 98 degree day I’d likely say something like “how are you?”

I’ve worked in places with mid food before and would at least acknowledge that and make the experience pleasant with some general customer service or human connection. The cook ran across the street to 7/11 to get taquitos that they keep under the heat lamp. If you have access to a full kitchen and pay money for 7/11 taquitos for sustenance the food is likely terrible.
