I was out to lunch the other day and it was a Monday work holiday, and this restaurant was short on staff and the crowds were piling up. Our waiter came back to take out order and before he could speak, a women from another table interrupted the action and cut between our table and the waiter. Her purpose was to complain that her table ordered waters and didn’t get the waters before they got their drinks and appetizers.

I think everyone should have an early job in a service occupation. There would be a lot more mutual respect between employees and patrons.
