re: OT: New Yorkers discovering crack from the south

Whenever my wife took kid there for breakfast, they hurried to open the door for her, got her situated at a table and brought a high chair to her, cleaned it off, took her order from the table and brought the food out to her, do you need napkins etc.... the works.

Whenever I took him there for breakfast I was treated like all the other schmucks. No white glove treatment whatsoever.

This was a recurring thing, not a one time thing.

She always gets the pampering there.
I always get the schmuck treatment.

At one point I was holding the kid and the girl tried to hand me two drinks. I looked at her long enough for her to offer to carry one ( or both) and she just stared. I said “I can only carry one, i guess I’ll have to come back for the other “. She said with a smile “ok!”

They weren’t slammed.

They are just too conservative to think maybe dads have equal (or more) roles in parenting these days and appreciate the little things too.
