This place is renowned for it's perseverance towards traditional style of Canton dining. Yet, persistence is definitely not contradictory to food quality and proper service. It is definitely okay to search for a seat by myself since that's the traditional norm. Grabbing food from the cart follows the same logic.

It is definitely okay to search for a seat by myself since that's the traditional norm. Grabbing food from the cart follows the same logic. I have no grievance on these and actually that's the appealing part.
However, the most provocative, my choice of wording seems a bit harsh, but yes, the following behaviours really sounds provocative from my perspective. The differentiation between new comers like me and other customers who have strong ties with those waiters is way too apparent.
First, there are two ways of serving the tea, either using a bowl (which is the most classic way) or by a pot. I wanna try out the earlier but such request was being ignored. Second, having a plate is basic for eating, but this seems quite an advanced dining setting for them: I have to eat without proper cutlery. Finally, a very simple fact: I was being yelled by a "senior" waiter, and being coerced to give up my seat to another pair of "old friends".
The staff knows how to use cell phones to call up those "old friends", and how to use electronic devices to facilitate their work. But seems their attitude towards customers is not in line with the expectation of dining service within this era.
Basic manner should be shown even in front of strangers on the road or within public transport, not to mention client servicing. Traditional dining culture should be preserved, but old-fashioned shortcomings are also ought to be removed. That's the only way to avoid "conservation" being downgraded into "anachronism".
