Well, I do love going to the Waffle house now and again at 3AM, so that rule I have isn’t absolute.
Just doing a comparison, the last time I went to the local Pizza Hut a few years ago, the waitress looked like she had just crawled out of a ditch, shot up some drugs, and went to work. Was a HORRIBLE dining experience. Her service sucked, as did the food. I assume the ‘cooks’ were about the same as her. There’s a big difference between a ‘cook’ and a chef. A Chef actually knows what they’re doing. Cooks just follow directions - often times done with pictures on a wall.
I go to a Ruth’s Chris, and the wait staff is absolutely great, as is the food. The waitresses are well spoken, have a full set of teeth, and at least ACT like they give a damn about whether you’re visit is a good one....
Does that make me a “snob”? ....Really? lol
When I am paying 45 for a steak ala carte, the wait staff had better be good.
““I try to make a habit of not eating somewhere that has employees that live in a trailer park or housing project....”
Criticizing actions and appearance is fine.
Criticizing their type of residence is snobbery.
