hi! today i stopped at a cafe for a quick pick me up iced latte and a baked good. when they asked me if i wanted it for here or to go i requested to go. i ended up eating the baked good there but wanted everything in a to go container and cup in case i had to leave abruptly as i was meeting a friend at a nearby park and i was basically on standby till she got off work. i became very worried that the barista thought i was incredibly rude for not leaving with my “to go” items. is this something hard and fast service industry workers adhere to? i mean i get if it was like a sit down place but a cafe with just baked goods? is it ok to get things to go and sit there for a time?
