Aphorism

""A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter is not a nice person."

Yep- I have just spent a week with a Jazz course crowd who treated a hard working waitress as if she was invisible! - I demonstrated how to appreciate her, and embarrassed some .
It turned out she had just completed a 5yr French law degree, and was about to begin further studies to become an international Corporate Lawyer

Moral: Never assume anything about ANYONE!!

Did I ever tell you about the United Methodist minister, pastor of a "progressive" congregation in Denver (we were friends with his wife), who went ballistic in a Vietnamese restaurant in Philadelphia because they would not take credit cards?

He made such a scene that I thought the cook would come out from the kitchen and "sort him out" with a cleaver.

It was one of M's sister's and her husband's neighborhood hangouts, so we were mainly embarrassed for them.

I've heard a slightly different version

"If they are nice to you and mean to the waiter, how they are to the waiter is how they really are."
