Same, but it was so busy that nobody at the table could load the menu; The restaurant’s tiny little closet server was essentially DDOS’ed. So the waiter had to verbally list the entire menu in the noisy restaurant.
Even worse, it was a restaurant where you order in rounds (Korean BBQ.) So every time the waiter came back to see what we wanted next, they had to list everything off again. By the third round, he just had a handwritten list he was handing to the table.

Dude. That resonated with me
