Why wouldn't a waitress know what anwatch is?
This is the kind of subtle class/sexism that really irks me.
I agree!

Reminds me of Ellen's "Bic for Her" segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCyw3prIWhc
She is a much nicer, much more informed person person than you are, that much is apparent.
The entire thread is pretty ridiculous. A waitress noticed his Apple watch, so what? Is that really worth a post on MacRumors?!?
Given the ridiculous post, I think the ridiculous replies are fine. So, OP, did you tap that?

Assuming a waitress is of a lower economic class is what really irks me
I know many rich people who have their kids work as waitresses or waiters or busboys as a way to make sure they understand the value and difficulty of hard work.
Stop the stereotyping!

And people wonder why feminism is such a big issue.
You know who else were waiters?

Most waitresses/servers I know are in school and have this job to pay for their education.
even some MacRumors members are informed enough to know this.

I don't think you are being fair here. You claimed specifically that posters "stated or implied that the waitress exists to have sex", which was NOT generally the case in the comments you cited. I think most of these comments were meant to be flippant and fatuous... indeed my own (which you did not cite) was intended purely to highlight the inappropriate and obnoxious presuppositions of the OP, not to belittle the subject matter. It is a meme around here to demand pics whenever anyone makes a claim, so that comment was just being funny given this specific scenario. And the lame pickup lines did not imply a sexual encounter, they were just a funny juxtaposition to the awkwardness of the OP's actual dialogue.
I am obviously not disagreeing with you regarding 'matrix07' (or I suppose 'broooce'), or your general premise. I hesitated to argue with you because I am strongly dedicated to freedom & equality in all its forms, and thus the principals of feminism... but this kind of light-handed political correctness is an adversary of freedom, so I thought it was necessary to come to the defense of some of the comments that you have aligned as anti-feminist, when they don't seem to be.
Go to the nearest Starbucks and tell them you won the internet, they'll hook you up.
I don't assume anyone of a particular profession is part of any particular class, in fact I'm quite against the class system.
I see your point and should have worded my response more carefully.
Initially, in the point I was trying to get across; I was unsure if the OP was surprised the waiter knew what an
watch was because of either gender or profession. You're absolutely correct to point out the error in what I said.Yes. None of those comments "either stated or implied that the waitress exists to have sex with the OP."
For valid reasons. Just not the imaginary reasons you invented here in this thread.
He's probably got a "homebrew" version of the apple watch and wanted to see if the waitress thought it was "real".
Where is this clown anyways?

Lol the number of self righteous posts in this thread are hilarious.
Get over yourselves. I thought the "Hey Siri" post was on point - if you get a phone number out of it and a date, good for you.

Why would waitresses be different than anyone else? "Even waitresses.." And I think they prefer the term "Server".
