Because it is a form of small talk. My autistic ass tries to fit in, and if it was raining, i’d ask something about the weather. I worked in service and most of the time i was glad i wasn’t seen as a meat-robot but a human that can talk
Yeah, but not on the degrading basis of service workers having to explain why they work. If you want to start a conversation you can ask if they have anything planned for the day. Still intruding and rude but at least not condescending.
I mean you do see a difference in starting a conversation on equal level or from up on a high horse, right?
I see sense in that but (un?)fortunately I’m incapable of starting conversations IRL usually. Also I am a rare visitor at restaurants or cafés, so that doesn’t help either
Now I’m interested, why?

I mean no worries, restaurant are there for you to eat, not to talk to people, there are other businesses for that.
