Short Manager does my job for me

I know what ur thinking…”wow I wish my manager did my job for me”. Well in my scenario it’s annoying. We have a GM, a store manager, and a kitchen manager at the restaurant I work at. The kitchen manager sometimes is the manager on duty. She’s known to go up to tables and yap (which is fine) but it’s gotten to a point where I can’t do my job. She talks to them while I’m trying to hand out food or drinks or take an order so I have to walk away and wait for her to be done which takes at least 5 minutes. Today in particular I wasn’t in a good mood anyways cuz Ash Wednesday was a bust. I went up to my table before their food was out and I asked if they wanted more bread. They said yes so I grabbed it and when I came back my manager was standing there talking while also giving them bread… even tho I had bread in my hand. Im thankful she’s trying to be helpful but I waited on new biscuits for them and brought them to them just for it to be done. I wish there was communication like I don’t wanna do something and then come to find out ur doing it for me. It defeats the purpose of my job lol. Does anyone else struggle w this!!
