I think I might be more comfortable eating with a giant stuffed mascot as opposed to eating alone.

In Taiwan, at a hot pot place called Haideilao, if you eat solo, they put a oversize stuffed mascot across from you so you’re not eating alone.

Wow…I read back my comment and I noticed I somehow had a stroke and wrote it backwards lmao.
I meant I’d rather eat alone!!! Dunno wtf happened there!

More likely sleep deprivation. This place pulls for that. Not sleeping is my regretful jam.

I looked up what dingus means, and got this:
nouninformal•North American used to refer to something one cannot or does not wish to name specifically.
So it’s like Voldemort… takes notes

You’re not even gonna try this?

Lol, I think they ask you if you want to. You be surprised how many people actually take them up for it.

That’s a thing on mainland China too. Apparently some of them think being sat with a big stuffed animal in the middle of a restaurant is a thing of nightmares too.

There’s a few of them in the US, and they do the same!

That’s awesome! I didn’t know.

…is there someone inside the stuffed mascot? Because otherwise wouldn’t you still be eating alone?

Of course not, how could you miss the oversized stuffed mascot sitting across from him??
