.....I think “socialist” Europe and “socialist” New York do indeed have a lot in common and therefore this “socialist” approach at Danny Meyer’s Restaurants might work. It will be interesting to see if it does.
But, in Central Texas, even a few bad or awful service complaints and your out of business. So, I don’t see this Euro/New York idea spreading. And, most folks here would see right through this scheme and not even patronize the place to begin with.
New York is nothing like Europe in serving. It has the finest servers in America - I would imagine including Texas. This is only going to make The New York Times and 3 cheap Brit tourists happy.
