Oh no~! That's what happens when Asians become americanized! :"D
duuuuh...
I am not certain of this - perhaps niisonge can tell us more - when a
similar situation like what you experienced in SF Chinatown takes
place in China, one of the staff would stop eating and attend to the
guests, take the order, and one of the kitchen staff will process the
order. Folks in China hardly pass up an opportunity to rake in a few
dollars...
