Social Dilemma: If Eating Out, Do You Wait To Eat Until Everyone is Served?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Janet and it's about going out to eat with friends. Here's her email: Hi Jaime. I was out to eat with friends the other night and we were having a great time. When the waitress came to serve the food, she served everyone except me. She made it clear she would be right back with my food. I was shocked when everyone started eating right away before I got my food. Not one of my friends even said, should we wait? I mocked them for it and said I couldn't believe that they wouldn't wait. They said it was ridiculous and I was being sensitive for no reason and that my food would be there soon so what was the big deal. I was raised that you wait to eat until everyone has been served. Was I being too sensitive? I don't think so. What do you think? Thanks ~ Janet I was raised that way too, but it wouldn't bother me if people started eating before I was served. If the restaurant is doing it right, everyone should be served at the same time. But even if we weren't I would definitely tell whoever got their meal to start eating. Don't want their food getting cold because I don't have mine. That's just me. What do you think? Let's help Janet out and let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
