And I can just imagine the barristas having a touch of Orwell's waiter in Down and and Out....
A lifetime ago when I worked as a room service waiter in a large hotel, I thumbtacked a photocopied page from that book describing the workers in a Parisian kitchen and hotel onto a bulletin board. Several of my coworkers mentioned the parallels to our kitchen and hotel.
It's funny how that particular scene in the book sticks with so many people! He had a point!
