My waiter was Eastern European today!

I was born in 1979 and I grew up in a different Era than most people here.

1982 here. I call bullshit.

People usually think poorly of waiters, but they can easily make $2000+ a week.

If you are female you can pull even more actually

I don't think badly of people who work hard and pay taxes, nor look down on waiters and waitresses. I think many people respect waiters and waitresses, because without them - restaurants couldn't function and would collapse.

I respect people for their personality and mannerisms, regardless of how much they earn. I think it's shallow to judge people based on their material things.

I don't respect arrogant, lazy, rude, or overweight people though - who don't work at all, and who arrogantly think they're superior to other people.

In larger cities, maybe but not in my neck of the woods.

I don't look down on anyone. It's just interesting because we don't get that kind of people here very often. And it reminded of me TA. I'm not lazy either.
I've written over 300 songs, I am a working musician and I work as a mascot for a popular restaurant. I don't need your approval.

Everyone is taking my post the wrong way. I am happy that he was my waiter

1 He spoke English well. He is assimilating into American culture. He even says "Y'all " and "Have a blessed day!"
2 He didn't speak Russian or anything to his fellow East Euro co-workers behind our backs.
3.He provided great service at the table.
4. I don't look down on him just because he's East Euro. It's just a very different experience. Normally we have Negroes or middle aged lower class whites serving us.

Sorry if I offended anyone with my observations!

You seem to have taken that personally about not respecting lazy and overweight people... why's that?! I wasn't referring to you personally.

Anyway, hard-working expats who aren't troubling anyone in life and are contributing taxes to your economy don't need your approval.

I've met Eastern Europeans in London from Romania who work as doctors, btw.

Also I met a black surgeon once who operated on my back at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in Queen's Square following an injury. I'm grateful to him that I can stand, dance, and walk again.

Yes, I know. It's just not commonplace to meet many East Euros where I live. They seem to be coming in recently. Would rather have them any day than Middle East Muslims.

It's the fact that even your compliments come with backhanded comments about "Negros" (who uses that word now a days) and "lower class whites" no offence but you largely live off the state due to your medical condition, you can't really call people out on being lower class when you're on government benefits + working part time. If you said half this stuff irl someone would attack you.

It's only temporary. I won't be for long. Anyways, I prefer to call it genteel poverty.
