    Why do they call people sir?

    Eating at the place makes me a person of high respect?

      1. Good manners.
      2. Staff here is not entitled to tips, they have to earn it, and in most cases just being polite to the clients is more than enough

            1984 never been even slightly respected in their whole life

            It’s always so nicely flattering to be called sir by waiters in my 20’s

              In the words of Homer Simpson, “For once in my life I want someone to call me ‘sir’, without adding ‘you’re making a scene’!”.
