Thought of putting this in Cuisine, but I think that it may be more suited to GD.
I’ve been emailing back and forth with friends in the U.S. about lockdowns, shielding and what not, and one friend in NYC, another in Wildwood N.J., and one in Crystal River FL told of a disturbing trend that has started in restaurants over there.
A couple of guys together, or a group of guys, have been demanding that their waitress lowers her mask when she presents the bill at the end of the meal, saying that they need to check how “hot’ she is, in order to determine how much to tip her.
Naturally this has gone down like a lead balloon among the waitresses in establishments where this has occurred, leading to lots of verbal sparring and bad feeling.
I can imagine a lot of “accidental” spilling of red wine, or hot coffee on any man foolish enough to try that in some London restaurants, and quite right too.
