I wonder what I would've done. I think I might have spoken out when the waitress claims to speak on behalf of all customers there.


As for TX vs NY: Me, I blame urbanised vs rural. It is always in the city where one will freeze to death while a million people walk by.


Also, I am shocked at the derogatory tone with which these customers adress the waitress. 'You need to be unpolitical and just do your job' - oh, how that would make for a fun thread about differences between Texas and France. I might've stood up for the waitress against these presumptuous customers.
