Pretty Woman Syndrome

Considering I haven't hit the triple digit mark on my page view stats, this may be a moot point, but I have a question to ask anyone who may glance at this blog:

Have you ever been Pretty Woman-ed at a high-end restaurant? Just to clarify, have you ever been to an expensive restaurant and felt you weren't getting treated with the same respect that older, more high-brow customers were recieving? I ask this because I'm writing a story for a food magazine my friend is starting up and would like to have some personal stories to prove or disprove my point.

Feel free to leave any comments!

  1. I think I have felt this. Even more though I get the strong feeling that it may just be my own perception of the situation. Being that, I don't feel like I belong there so I project that onto others (waitstaff, other customers...)

    Which also lends to the argument that our attitude is what really affects the situation. If we walk in and act like we don't belong there... then we don't. If we act like we do then we do. Either way, most likely, those surrounding us will pick up on the vibes we're handing out.
