That might be the worst take I've ever read on this website.

It's just free hugs, but more theatrical.

Your post literally suggests that a customer spontaneously should kiss the employee. That kind of behavior is goes far beyond an innocent facade of "free hugs."

  • Consent is involved, everyone is a volunteer and willing participant. If you don’t want a hug or kiss or whatever you don’t get one. I fail to understand how this makes it anything but “free hugs”

  • Doesn't the post read that it's the server who would give you the kiss, if you compliment them three times?

    Also, volunteer is not the same as employee. Especially important in this context.

    • I read it as if you pay 2 compliments and then proceed to kiss / spank the employee you would also get a compliment in addition to whatever you ordered. And that compliment would give you an extra pep in your step.

  • Are you somehow operating under the impression that volunteers are being held against their will and forced to give and/or receive free kisses to anyone who demands it?

    Are you okay?

    • Would you think it would be okay if someone got raped as long as they weren't being held down against their will? Just because the person doesn't leave, that doesn't mean they consent.

  • Something's either literally stated or suggested. It can't be both, but it can be neither.

  • What is wrong with you. This isn’t a customer/employee thing at all. That’s, like, the entire point of Burning Man.

    • Feel free to mentally substitute your own words for the titles used of the two people when ordering and delivering services from another.
