I'm almost certain this has been tried before multiple times and always ended badly. I see no reason to think it would be different now.

I just wouldn't go to that restaurant. Plenty of other places to go.

This is going to be the response to "work from home"

Is this real? Is there any proof of this actually being a thing?

Not knowing the law in the US I guess it is fully legal. Given that there is no union or chain responsibility in the supply chain or similar to GDPR in EU you guys are fucked until someone abuse the system one way or another.

On the other hand it shows work from home is feasible even with these kind of things.

Does this mean I can give the cashier a 50 cent tip and I can get her number for laters?
