While I don't agree with the attitude, I guess I sort of understand the faith in their divinely appointed 'specialness' in a young stock trader or lawyer eaning a half million+ dollars a year, I DON'T understand the same atitude in the staff in those places. They are STILL just waiters eaning minimum wage with no benefits.

What's so special about them?
Because they get to be near 'us' of course. And isn't it benefit enough that I let them touch my Centurion card?

And as far as the "smug, self satisfaction on the faces of, well everyone..." those are just masks we all wear to keep out the dumb, the poor, and the dirty.
