That reminded me of my wife and I out to an early dinner on New Year's Eve.
There was an older black couple coming in, and the husband was struggling to make it from the car to the restaurant, so I went out and helped him up out of the car and thru the doors. He was wearing a Marine Corps hat.
The greeter saw us coming but lacked the brains to arrange a table near the door so he wouldn't have to struggle to the back of the dining room. I caught the eye of the owner and pitched my head at the closest table and helped into the booth.
The hostess wasn't having it and started to whine. Me being so shy, I looked over her shoulder and said to the owner, "You need to teach your host staff that their agenda is not always what is best for your customers and your restaurant."
He lit her up in front of everyone and she quit on the spot.
The precious old man thanked me for helping his wife get him out of the car and into the booth. The owner apologized and announced to the rest of his staff that they needed to learn to care more about the needs of the guest and less about their own sense of importance.
Once things quieted down I asked our waitress to add their dinners to our check an discovered the owner had comped us and the two of them.
There is hope. The younger generation just needs guidance and a good example.
If that doesn't do it, then they need fired.
