After all, we all work for a tip of some sort, no matter what our jobs. I've waited tables and bartended, so I know that there is a large degree of BS that goes along with "caring for the customer." What I intended to say was that the service appears to come from professionals who take their jobs seriously as a full time career, not from someone who is working part time (nothing wrong with that) as a means to get to another job/career/goal. Why are they making fun of my clothes? I'm not the best dresser, but I think I do okay. Maybe you could write a post and give me some advice? Anyway, I was trying to give my impression of the service, not get into a class warfare debate. Sorry.

They may do their job well, but it's still a job. 20% on a $150+ a plate dinner? Shit, I'd pretend to be "devoted" too. I am sorry if this destroys the illusion of them caring about your happiness, but it doesn't make it any less true. In the kitchen, they are making fun of your clothes. You know what? Forget I said anything. Enjoy your meal, sir or ma'am. More water? /we used to have dreams, now we have jobs.
