To be real honest, I don't give a rats ass if they are close minded or
not. As long as they keep coming back and ploping down $70-80 a person
and keep us in business. Those close-minded people pay my salary, put
a roof over my head and put a roof over my head.

Did I say that she might not be an exellent server? No. I said that my
customers would not appreciate being served by such a person. <see
above>

Why would I assume this? Lots of experiance with it. Does there money
spend well? Yes, but at the potential cost of upseting my regulars,
some of whom spend 3-4 K a year in my establishment? That is not a
trade off I or any of the other managers are going to make.

And what is the track record of those establishments that do
"appreciate" this uniqueness. How many of them will still be in
operation or still up to their opening standards 2-5 years down the
road? Some will I admit, but the majority of them will fail simply
because in a market like the central- southwest they will not be able
to attract the kind of clientel that consistantly has disposeable
income.

>Only because people like you allow that to happen. 

Well its a "us against them" world and the "thems" have been around
alot longer and there are more of them than the "us'"  It is my belief
that to "make it" (being able to provide for yourself, your family and
stay off of *any* kind of public assistance without resorting to
crime) a person has to be willing to give up a few things and conform
to what "the man" wants. It ain't perfect, but for many it's reality.

Sorry, my mistake Tarla. I wasn't aiming that at you specificly, I
swear.
