the idea that bars have servers or when going out, most would prefer to be served by someone paid to host and wait on them isn't a foreign one except to phil and mocat.  it's called relaxing.  not getting up from your conversation with friends or from the game you are focused on so you can slug your way through a busy place and refill your beer is a reward to a hard week.  also, not a new concept.  but hey, to each their own.  if you can be suckered into fattening a bar owner's margins by waiting on yourself, then go for it.

Agreed wait staff is also not a new concept. Now that it's been confirmed, make your choice: if you need someone to wait on you, don't go to bier station or the local breweries. Whew

i don't need anyone to wait on me.  also don't need for anyone to clean my table or dishes when i leave an establishment.
i don't need anyone to kill the cow that supplies my steak or cook it, or brew the beer i drink with it.  don't need a car to get there, could walk! 

whew!

I'm all for places with less servers but let's be honest, what is the real cost to a place for a server? Like 5-7 bucks an hour?

I wasn't fully aware of the concept of bier station going into it tho and neither were the 50 something year old couple that walked in after us. That's kinda the point. Like you look on their website and they have $12-15 entrees that look tasty and a good list of beers. I just assume it will be like any other restaurant/bar place. I totally understand the cost thing. That was a good point KCDFcat. However, starring at your brand new customers walking in through the door and not saying anything until they come up to you and your hipster beard/mustache duo is a weird stance to take. The old people look confused and haven't left their seat since they got there. Maybe help them out a bit.

Also, that wasn't directed at KCFDcat, it was directed at the dude running bier station yesterday.

i would guess, all in after taxes, somewhere around $4.50.  tipped employees minimum wage is $3.85.  add 7% social security, 7% unemployment, 2% medicare


the real wackadoodle about servers is that if you can't afford them, then you don't need them

Exactly, if you're busy enough to need them, the cost is negligible

It's weird for a place that has food to not have servers, or an obvious counter serve / ordering location.  Not weird for a drinks only bar to not have servers.

I postmates my first Max's experience this weekend during the K-State game. It was pretty great. I didn't move a muscle. Mrs. Wacky got up to get it for me.  :gocho:

I went to Sakura "sushi Train"

Neat idea.  The seared tuna was really good.

Gets expensive if you are hungry but cool way to try lots of stuff.
