That's a
huge part of what I'm talking about. If I go to a "nice" restaurant, I want to enjoy the experience. I dress a little, or a lot, nicer, and I guess I expect others to do the same. I expect others to exhibit good, if not "proper" manners. A major part of my experience is others around me. When I go to McDonald's, I
expect people to be dressed in t-shirts and jeans. I
expect kids to be running rampant. I
expect a less than stellar dining experience. That's not why I'm there. If I go to...say...an Applebee's, or even the Olive Garden, I expect something a little better. If I go to Mahogany's. or Gorat's, I expect something
far better. Intead, it seems, I am subjected to just more of the same, from people who seem to believe that just because they have the money to pay their bill...it's
all about them.
