Can we share a table?

I have a discussion with some pals on our stand of our domestic helpers sharing at dinner table and menu. Definitely each of us has their point of view, according to our own growning up experience and sense of what is proper and appropriate.

I don't have a helper, though I can share much but I did not share much.
If I am to have an opinion, this may be how I gague the decision:

Community. Everyone needs and desire community. Are they provision of avenues for such for the helpers, sharing a conversation over a meal with someone?

I am not sure this is true but from what I read and watched in movie.

In the older days, servants and slaves were hired in group and they have their own community in the household. So when they do meal together, it is still in a community. They have an avenue to share their day, share a conversation, have someone to talk to, cracked a joke. Some may even have their own family in the midst, so eating separately in understandable.

If I have a helper, I may not feel real comfy (not sure about them) about sharing of table and menu, but what is the harm anyway? They or she will sit in and eat in silence, responding when conversed.

So what shall I do?
