Remember "Thank you for your custom"?
Remember "Thank you for your patronage?
You are the customer, the patron. You don't need them. They need YOU! Without customers they go under. If they can't feed, serve, make you happy, there are plenty of other places that will. How conniving of them to make us think otherwise.
Actually, I happen to know that with my friends it is simply empathy, now very well off, there was a time when they served as waitresses etc during college and they still remember how they had to put together their pennies.
