Noblesse Oblige

This article in the Washington Post, about What is actually annoying about restaurants, according to someone who has been a waiter for 25 years, reminds me of feudalism, and noblesse oblige, and tyranny. There is a little tyrant inside all of us, that, given a little power, will abuse others. You see it with homeowners' associations, city councils, bosses at work. Being a customer in a restaurant is as close as many of us will ever get to having a servant at our beck and call, and how you treat your servants is a sign of your real character, and your real social class.
