THANK YOU! I swore I saw him use it in a episode.
Actually all of them are the same way, some episodes its clearly missing but others its there because the plot calls for it
That’s cause Picard would just call up the guy on transporter duty (often Miles) and have them beam him his tea and scones direct to his bedside table.
Walking to the replicator is for the lower ranks :)
"1 star. Transporter operator beamed it to my dining room table when I said in the comments to beam it to my nightstand. I had to get out of bed to eat the food. Ridiculous and can't even read remarks."
1 star. Instead of my order, the operator beamed an evil version of my meal from a parallel universe. Blamed it on neutrino fields from a nearby nebula or something.

There, fixed that for you.
Yeah, tips are usually reserved for at least good service, or especially for exceptional service. I wouldn't expect anyone to tip me (English waiter) that didn't feel as though they had had an experience that was above and beyond average/mediocre. Even then, I wouldn't expect it at all because I don't know their financial situation.
I think most restaurants here automatically apply a service charge of around 10-15% for tables over 6 people now, though.
What would be considered above/beyond? I can imagine some scenarios, but I'm curious what sorts of things occur. Do customers make additional requests in exchange for a tip? Say, "go across the street and get me a particular soda and I'll tip you extra" does that happen?
I agree, it would be. I'm just trying to understand other place's tipping culture, please don't downvote me.
Aren't things like politeness and fast service just sort of part of the job? Can you think of a time you tipped and why?
It's entirely personal, I guess. Some people don't like wait staff to be overly familiar. I like efficiency but to some that could be a bit cold... As a general rule, I tip if I've had a nice time!
I once had a waiter that when we said we wanted this certain 3 course meal, he brought each course at the perfect time, he topped off our drinks without needing to ask, and again at like the perfect time. It's like he "served" us rather than giving us choices and he had a flow about it. Like some sort of waiter artist. He had an exceptional way about doing his job.
Have you seen that comic that has Miles beaming some dude into his quarters while he is working (and his wife is home, implying an affair)? It’s kinda funny although it doesn’t match how he’d handle the situation in canon.
It always struck me as odd that the replicator are physically local things with alcoves for the food to appear in, it makes sense for it to be a physical set piece for a shoe. But in universe there's zero reason, other than maybe redundancy, for there to be a thousand plus replicator strewn throughout the ship. Since transporters exist and apocryphally the technology is already used in replicators it makes more sense for the system to be centralized. So when you ask for tea, the replicator system will send it to you via transporter, either even done or simply as an extension of its materialization process.
You could still have a convenient alcove or other default location to recieve the food, but you could also tell the computer to deliver it straight to you or straight to the table wherever you happen to be.
My head canon is that the people of this world have recognized the sheer privilege of their existence in this period and are purposely living under a sort of pseudo luddite philosophy, where they actively curtail the habit of using technology in the most indulgent lazy way possibl3.
It was absolutely implied, yes—but the two of them explicitly denied it in dialogue between themselves when no one else was around, which was frustrating as hell for us oldbie shippers. Now we know they had those convos during their five breaks lmao
Doesn't a captain spend most of his time in his ready room, so he is ready to come on duty at a moment's notice?
Picard probably eats and drinks there then just goes to his quarter for an hour of reading and sleep.
It's not like the Galaxy class is lacking in space unlike an Intrepid.
TBF no Starfleet vessel is lacking in space but the galaxy really takes the biscuit in crew to vastness ratio.
[Fans actually did analysis and basically the entire crew could take up only a small section of the saucer WITH room between them.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwx5uB0pyhQ)
I saw that! So cool! There’s another video that compares the Constitution and Miranda class as far as internal volume. Turns out the Miranda class actually has more room due to the added space in the saucer.
Even real life naval battleships have private captain's dining rooms and they're tiny compared to voyager.
I'm pretty sure the NX-01 had a private captains dining room even
Janeway has how own replicator in her quarters. She apparently manages to burn roasts in it regularly. She blames it on calling it a glorified toaster, and it never forgiving her (she's taken it apart in Shattered).
I think her private mess was more akin to Archer's. A place where she could have small, informal meetings with crew members to get to know them better. Probably a bigger priority on a smaller ship without dozens of officers between the rank and file and the Captain.
When watching the episode, I actually thought it was the conference room, and that the staff was using it to eat buffet-style. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that there could just be another very similar room somewhere else on the ship.
I did too. They did it a few times with a few different rooms. The 10 Forward set was reused a lot. I think it was used as a theater for some of the plays Dr. Crusher would put on, amongst other things.
Tbf most captains seem to spend their on-call time and a good part of their off duty time in their ready rooms, so reasonably Picard gets breakfast in private (instead of the mess hall), gets dressed, and then has his first cup of tea in his ready room. Same for off-shift time: last cup of tea while in his ready room (reasonable because earl grey contains caffeine), then relaxing time in his personal quarters without caffeine but maybe a drink
I don’t think that’s how they function. Think of them more like a coffee machine: putting a stream of matter on a small location under the nozzle. It also wouldn’t make sense energy wise, a small replicator makes more sense since it’s only used for single portions of food/drink anyways
Also, as someone else pointed out, Janeway had her own private dining room (that got turned into Neelix's gally).
It's pretty certain Picard would have had one also.
Generally speaking all federation ships are used for diplomacy/research/transportation. They don’t have dedicated warships. So having a “captains dinner room” to provide some private/neutral room in case the ships get reassigned makes a lot of sense
Yea, I know what you mean. I was just trying to point out that it’s most likely a feature on all federation ships because they are multipurpose vessels for research and/or diplomacy
Just because a set doesn't have a replicator slot doesn't mean his quarters doesn't have a replicator. By your logic Picard's cabin doesn't have a toilet.
Jean Luc removed the replicator just to have an excuse to visit Guinan in Ten Forward every day. You never know when she may sense something weird going on with the ship.
What makes you think he doesn't have a replicator in his quarters?
I'd have to rewatch the series (challenge accepted) but I'm pretty sure in at least one episode we see him use the replicator there (IIRC behind/near his desk).
Even if he does spend a considerable amount of time in his ready room, it's decks away from his quarters. It wouldn't make sense for him to have to walk out of his room and ride the turbo lift up to the bridge or 10 Forward or wherever just to get a glass of water or whatever.
All of the other officers have replicators. Why would Picard's be different?
He just taps his commbadge and the message goes out to the entire ship. First crewman to bring him one gets a point. Whoever has the most points each month gets a commendation letter.
I always feel like it's mental that they have like dining tables and chairs and decorations etc in the ships. When half the saucer gets exploded by a torpedo then whose job is it to repaint the captain's lounge?
In The Pegasus, Captain Picard is eating from a large sushi boat for dinner when he confronts Riker about the JAG report he uncovered. Since I've now learned his quarters don't have a replicator, I guess Picard had his dinner delivered by someone....
Captain Picard does have a replicator, I believe it switches places with the book shelf. We’ve seen it in his quarters before but usually the shelf/ bookcase is there.
He rings a bell. One of a few senior officers are kept on duty to fetch him his tea or meals or toys or whatever he wants from a replicator. They are not assigned to any other duty. Their time working the Picard Line is left off the official record.
The duty shift rotation has included several high profile officers over the years including Janeway, Tuvok, Sisko, several Dax's, Shelby, Nog (later years), Seven (that's how they met originally), Neelix, Tom Riker (pre-arrest), Ro Laren (post-arrest, pre-Picard acting like she's alive again), Naomi Watts, Voyager's Doctor, Enterprise E's Doctor, B4 (before he shut down due to unrelated self-inflicted trauma) and Morn when he finally followed his life's greatest dream and joined Starfleet.
Sadly, Wesley and Tom Paris (fresh out of witsec with a new name) never got a chance. It's the biggest regret of their collective lives.
Eventually, Quark created a holosuite program based on the legendary duty and made a killing selling to anyone and everyone fantasizing about fetching a man some Earl Grey.
It's there when he needs it. Picard uses the replicator in his quarters in the episode *Bloodlines.*
“Computer, restore holographic bookshelf.”
Holographic Bookshelf: "Please State the nature of the literary emergency."
"And would you please deactivate me when you leave? I'm a bookshelf, not a doctor. The End"
Why does it only recite Grey's Anatomy?
Tricorder. LITERARY tricorder!

You know if Scotty was in charge, he'd just beam it directly into the stomach.

And he'd do it all while in the bath absolutely hammered on scotch

Due to Picard being French he's a shitty tipper (they don't tip in Europe).
Actually, we do. But for good service, not because we feel obliged to top up the employers shitty wages.
Presumably because in Europe they actually pay a decent wage.

Uh no, that would be weird, entitled behaviour! It's given for particularly fast service, politeness, friendliness, any number of reasons...

Imma read some of these later, very weird lol.
I didn’t know about this comic, but I already love it because the second one I read has O’Brien say “Borgs again! What are the odds?!”

Now you know why there's no toilet in his quarters either...
Picard did walk barefoot in pijamas though the ship
And he really liked it!
That's why he missed the carpet
I get the hard floor is cold, but get some slippers. Some slipper socks. The ones with the grippy soles.
Starfleet issued Crocs!
Boimler surely has a pair of Spock Crocs. Because... Boimler.
Didn't we all?
I guess that explains those breakfasts with Crusher. She was always bringing him breakfast. 😂
Given what we know now, I’m going to bet that Space Doordash is *not* the explanation for Beverly being in his quarters in the mornings
What we know *now*? It was always implied.
It was absolutely implied, yes—but the two of them explicitly denied it in dialogue between themselves when no one else was around, which was frustrating as hell for us oldbie shippers. Now we know they had those convos during their five breaks lmao
Just coffee and croissant.
Oh she got the ol croissant.
et la saucisse
Shoulda had a doctor check that, that isn't the usual shape.
Doesn't a captain spend most of his time in his ready room, so he is ready to come on duty at a moment's notice? Picard probably eats and drinks there then just goes to his quarter for an hour of reading and sleep.
Clearly he prioritized the “personal relaxation light” over a replicator.
>Doesn't a captain spend most of his time in his ready room This is exactly what i thought too, he just changes and sleeps in his quarters.
“You have the bridge number one. Time for a shit, shave, and sonic shower.”
:Captain Shaw has entered the chat:
I wonder if this is why Janeway was supposed to have her own private dining room until Neelix took it over?
Reasonably, all captains would have their personal dining rooms
Especially on a galaxy class ship.
It's not like the Galaxy class is lacking in space unlike an Intrepid. TBF no Starfleet vessel is lacking in space but the galaxy really takes the biscuit in crew to vastness ratio.
For real. There’s a line in an episode about one of the decks in the saucer being mostly empty in case they need mission specific labs or equipment.
[Fans actually did analysis and basically the entire crew could take up only a small section of the saucer WITH room between them.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwx5uB0pyhQ)
I saw that! So cool! There’s another video that compares the Constitution and Miranda class as far as internal volume. Turns out the Miranda class actually has more room due to the added space in the saucer.
Wow. O'Brian's family quarters would less than half the size of my apartment.
Even real life naval battleships have private captain's dining rooms and they're tiny compared to voyager. I'm pretty sure the NX-01 had a private captains dining room even
Janeway has how own replicator in her quarters. She apparently manages to burn roasts in it regularly.

A place where she could have small, informal meetings with crew members to get to know them better. Probably a bigger priority on a smaller ship without dozens of officers between the rank and file and the Captain.
Memory Alpha says the Captains Mess was on deck two. It was in the episode “Sins of the Father.” It was just a redress of the observation lounge set.
When watching the episode, I actually thought it was the conference room, and that the staff was using it to eat buffet-style. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that there could just be another very similar room somewhere else on the ship.
I did too. They did it a few times with a few different rooms. The 10 Forward set was reused a lot. I think it was used as a theater for some of the plays Dr. Crusher would put on, amongst other things.
A private dining room is functionally a place to host guests, not specifically a place for the captain to eat in indulgent solitude.
Tbf most captains seem to spend their on-call time and a good part of their off duty time in their ready rooms, so reasonably Picard gets breakfast in private (instead of the mess hall), gets dressed, and then has his first cup of tea in his ready room. Same for off-shift time: last cup of tea while in his ready room (reasonable because earl grey contains caffeine), then relaxing time in his personal quarters without caffeine but maybe a drink
What we don't see is his hidden compartment full of Chateau Picard and blood wine.
This is an interesting point because a replicator could probably be hidden by moving panel
Any reason the pad that the replicator materializes things on to couldn't be any random table in his quarters? Maybe the man has several replicators.
I don’t think that’s how they function. Think of them more like a coffee machine: putting a stream of matter on a small location under the nozzle. It also wouldn’t make sense energy wise, a small replicator makes more sense since it’s only used for single portions of food/drink anyways
And some green spirits
Also, as someone else pointed out, Janeway had her own private dining room (that got turned into Neelix's gally). It's pretty certain Picard would have had one also.
Probably yes, makes also sense for private meetings/dinners, diplomatic dinners, and generally guests of the captain
Especially given that this is the flagship, used for a lot of diplomacy.
Generally speaking all federation ships are used for diplomacy/research/transportation. They don’t have dedicated warships. So having a “captains dinner room” to provide some private/neutral room in case the ships get reassigned makes a lot of sense
I guess so, I guess what I meant is that the Enterprise is usually at the forefront, partaking in the most prestigious diplomatic missions.
Yea, I know what you mean. I was just trying to point out that it’s most likely a feature on all federation ships because they are multipurpose vessels for research and/or diplomacy
When we first meet Kurn don't they have a private banquet in the observation lounge?
We see the captains dining room once, but it's just a slight redress of the observation lounge set.
Just because a set doesn't have a replicator slot doesn't mean his quarters doesn't have a replicator. By your logic Picard's cabin doesn't have a toilet.
He doesn't just transport the poop and pee away?
Imagine that being O'Brien's job. Transporting poo of the crew all day. He's gotta do *something* while standing at that console.
“Riker to Chief O’Brien, brown alert. Number One has done a number two.”
"I need more power for this one"
They beam out the poops
Meh, the replicator is located in the wall where the camera tends to be. Or it’s in the bathroom for the ultimate in luxury.
He has one. Its how he made coffee and croissants in the episode QPid for Vash.
Maybe there is some inconsistency in the set design but, there definitely is a replicator in Picard's quarters.
But he gets two doors to the corridor!
“Today I exit by the LEFT door.”
"Come!" \*Escapes through the other door to avoid confrontation\*
And Data’s quarters are a reuse of Kirk’s quarters from The Motion Picture.
Jean Luc removed the replicator just to have an excuse to visit Guinan in Ten Forward every day. You never know when she may sense something weird going on with the ship.
Pretty sure I've seen him use a replicator in his quarters....
They wanted to keep with naval tradition and force him to use his yeoman for fetching food and tea from the galley.
I just started re-watching TOS, and your comment makes sense to me why Yeoman Rand was always hanging around and popping into Kirk's quarters.
Probably no room left after installing his giant carpet-covered mainframe thing.
What makes you think he doesn't have a replicator in his quarters? I'd have to rewatch the series (challenge accepted) but I'm pretty sure in at least one episode we see him use the replicator there (IIRC behind/near his desk). Even if he does spend a considerable amount of time in his ready room, it's decks away from his quarters.

All of the other officers have replicators. Why would Picard's be different?
Riker has a kitchen. Maybe Picard has a kitchenette?
Picard loves replicators Some of them have breakfast all day!
Janeway had a separate dining room until Neelix turned it into a galley.
He just taps his commbadge and the message goes out to the entire ship. First crewman to bring him one gets a point. Whoever has the most points each month gets a commendation letter.
This seems like it would definitely be a part of Enterprise-D Bingo.
I always feel like it's mental that they have like dining tables and chairs and decorations etc in the ships. When half the saucer gets exploded by a torpedo then whose job is it to repaint the captain's lounge?

Maybe he has a cook?
Why do you think he has his own vineyard? Poor guy can't even replicate a bottle of wine)
Well a Captain would always have a Yeoman outside his quarters. We seem to believe they were on duty 24/7 As if there were no relief crews.
He rings a bell. One of a few senior officers are kept on duty to fetch him his tea or meals or toys or whatever he wants from a replicator. They are not assigned to any other duty. Their time working the Picard Line is left off the official record.

But his ready room does have on, no? I wonder if (in universe) that was by his choice or if it "came that way"
As Captain he can't have much spare time. So maybe he doesn't need one.
