Alrighty, folks, gather 'round because I've got a classic tidbit for y'all, and I reckon some of you might be in the dark about this one. So, picture this: the whole deal with dining and restaurant folks, they're all about that image and reputation stuff. They want to keep up that "Oh, I'm not just a worker" façade, but here's the scoop – in reality, most of 'em do their thing on the down-low. Every once in a while, they might drop a line like "Hey, you know, keep it hush-hush," for two main reasons: A) to boost the tab, and B) to let you in on the secret that they're up for some off-the-books fun.
Now, take a gander at your local bar and dive joints – you'd be surprised, my friends, 'cause a bunch of the waitstaff there, they're in on it too. Yup, they're grinding away at those low-paying jobs, and when a generous foreigner shows up, they're all smiles. It's all about putting in some extra effort and getting them out of the professional mode. I've crossed paths with a few bartenders and waiters in my day, and you bet your boots they won't shout it from the rooftops or advertise it, but they sure do love those greenbacks.
So, remember the old saying, "If it quacks like a duck and struts like a duck, well, it ain't a pigeon, my friend!" LOL!
