Well, TH, I don't have any comment on the rest of the stuff you said, but that thing about tying up restaurant tables hit my hot button. That one has nothing to do with being retired and feeling no need to hurry. That one has everything to do with a sense of entitlement and quite simply being downright rude.
People waiting in those lines are not considered in the least by those squatters. But also, they never even remotely consider the server who is trying to make a living while a bunch of clueless, rude, self-important weenies sit around at the table long after they are finished and keep that table from turning.
And thinking about such a situation makes me wonder, but not for long, if the sense of entitlement that reigns supreme in such a scene just might correlate with the propensity to be a lousy tipper. Anybody who does that to a server in a busy restaurant should be willing to at least finally stand up -- in more ways than one -- and leave a serious amount of tip on the table for that server. And I do mean a serious amount.
How would those table squatters like it if the servers came to their place of work and camped out in their offices or whatever and tied up their computers or whatever.
Well, I know, TH, that one does not have anything to do with being retired and not being in a hurry. That one has to do with an across-the-board display of an absolute lack of anything even close to just plain havin' a little class.
Geez. I feel so much better now, TH. Hey. Thanks for asking.
