There's some good commentary after the comic:

"So it isn't that the waiter is being polite when he secretly wants to be a dickhead, it's that he is using the fact that he "is" a waiter to explain his actions, rather than admitting that the actions came solely from his own freedom. "

Thanks for that! The entire commentary is worth reading (though I didn’t find the comic itself very compelling. That or I didn’t get)
It's a nice series of comics. But I guess there's lots of philosophers' inside jokes there as well. But obviously it's not taking a very admirable position on the great philosopher heroes like Sartre, which I find refreshing. It's making fun of them.
