[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Waiters are hired flunkies doing low-end labor, nothing more.

I haven't seen such elitism since John Kerry said that you needed a good education so you didn't end up in the Army and get stuck in Iraq.

Look the guy I was replying to was claiming there was an "implied contract". That was the elitism right there. There is no contract between waiter and diner, the diner is "contracting" with the owner of the place. No other contract arises, and in any case, the waiter is an employee of the owner. The owner is responsible for remuneration.

I don't mean to demean waiters, but in the context of my reply, I'm trying to point out that they are not business owners, and I certainly do not contract with them simply by having a meal they happened to serve.
