Restaurant Dances: Entertainment or Cringe?

The podcast episode explores the debate around restaurant dances performed by waitstaff. Specifically, it focuses on a popular hot pot restaurant chain in China, where waiters and waitresses break into spontaneous dance performances triggered by the phrase 'kumusan' (sub-check 3) uttered by customers. The opinions on these performances are divided, with some finding it entertaining and enhancing the dining experience, while others see it as intrusive and uncomfortable. The podcast discusses how these performances are seen as an extra service provided by the restaurant to create a unique experience and attract attention on social media. It also raises questions about the impact on customer satisfaction, employee morale, and the overall success of such performances.
