Am I the only one who gets annoyed when the staff take up a table and eat in the restaurant in which you are paying good money to dine? It just pisses me off.
The other day, the head chef was sitting at the bar, chowing down. Why? Why wasn't she in the back eating? Frankly, I don't want to be reminded that she eats for free and patrons don't. The other bad idea about this scene was that she is very overweight -- not a good ad for how you will look if you eat what she prepares.

Yesterday, the assistant manager was enjoying his lunch at the banquette next to ours. He came over and said our meal would be a little delayed because there was a backup in the kitchen. "I see you got your lunch," I smiled. "Well, I had to wait a little too," he replied.
Really?! How annoying that you had to wait to eat your free lunch. The nerve! I thought, but didn't say. (Yes, it happens. Rarely, but sometimes I don't blurt out everything I think.)
I know, I know, it's my 'Upstairs Downstairs' mentality, but I think there has to be a separation. That's why, when we had live-in nannies, my rule was you stay in your room and we'll stay in the rest of the house. I bought them a TV and even loaned them my car, but the line was drawn; they didn't sit and watch TV with us.
Did I miss my era, The Gilded Age? Apparently.
