    This must have been developed for people who couldn’t read. Obviously just having the waiter’s notes should be enough.

      I’m also thinking that, or maybe it’s a super old system before POS terminals.

      A comment on YT was super interesting, an autistic person said that whoever came up with this is likely autistic, and it make a lot of sense to them, but not others.

        You don’t have to be autistic, just bored. After <200 hours of waffle housing I bet you could come up with an equally archaic system that only you really fully understand.
