It's all relative to what you are looking for and how far you are willing to go get it. While you and Chat present yourselves as having better taste and a higher social awareness then others on this forum, I don't believe you are in the majority. Those that you consider not your equals most likely spend more time talking to their servers. This is not a shot, so please don't take it that way, just an observation based on your posts.
Here we go again the bashing of someone you don’t know, and even though we find we live in the friendly home town, you still find that 10% tell you to pack your bags and move out if you do not have the same opinion as theirs, or tell you don’t take it that way(that’s a new one). As to equals I have never MET anyone here who says because you live in this type of house, or dine in this restaurant, you think you are above me or below me, only on TOTV does that happen.

Thank god some don’t know where those you don’t like live, or one might find a mob outside of their door because that person thinks, eats, or looks, differently than you.

When we eat out we spend money in a restaurant that can prepare food well. Not a snob just enjoy fresh well prepared food.
We find a drive to a Disney, Tampa, Ocala or just to go to a Costco not a big deal for us. We both travel for a living so driving is never a big deal. One might find the younger residents leave the bubble more than those who don’t feel comfortable driving.

As to servers we don’t do fast food, so that’s out. As for speaking to servers about how the residents are not tipping how does that conversation start. Hi I am your server, that table only gave me 10% and that table didn’t tip me at all, so what do you want.

so I am wondering that if some only tip 10%, or 15%, have any of you thought maybe that’s all they can afford. Maybe it’s not about the service, or the food, maybe after they pay the bill, that all their budget will allow.

We entertain, sometimes up to 40 people at our home. Conversation is rarely about what size home you live in that’s just rude. It’s mostly about what Village, where did you originate from, can I have the recipe, and I love that vase where did you get it.

I was raised to value the opinion of others, just because One doesn’t have the same opinion, it does not make them evil or better than you. For some its ok to bully someone because there opinions are different.
