The Don’t Speak to Anyone Karen
Believe it or not, some waiters actually like speaking to other people. It probably makes their job a lot more fun since they have to stand up all day and jot down the orders of countless faceless customers in the hopes of making some money in tips.
The OP was having a friendly chat with a customer at a table. When he came over to the Karen’s table to take her order, she complained that he was spending too much time talking to the other guests. Well, with that attitude, it’s no wonder nobody wants to linger around your table and strike up friendly chitchat, Karen.
