Crouching Waiter

Someone recently asked me "What is your biggest pet peeve when you go out to eat?" I didn't even need to think about it.
"Crouching Waiter"
I could almost forgive this trendy service quirk if I were accompanied by a child and/or a midget (or a midget child) But I am 5'9. Most of the people that I dine with are over the five foot mark.
GET UP!
Think of it as your turn to look down on your patrons.
Use your height.
Use your strength, Grasshopper.
