Lariat Letter

Disrespect begins in college students, not Wacoans

It’s a familiar scene in Waco. It is 9:55 p.m. and the few remaining customers have begun walking out of the almost vacant restaurant. The Kitchen Manager has sent home much of the staff and the remaining staff begins closing duties. Then four college students come through the doors. “Are you guys closed yet?” The already strained cashier looks at the clock. It is 9:58. Begrudgingly she begins taking their orders, now accepting the fact that she won’t be able to return home at a decent hour due to having to put off her closing duties. The four college students, dressed in green and gold, take their seats at an already dirty table and ask the nearest employee to clean it off for them. Sure there are other tables that are clean, but this dirty table has a much better view and it’s the employee’s responsibility, isn’t it? After busing the dirty table, the same employee learns she has to bring the table their food. The employee betrays her feelings by not matching the customer’s friendly expressions and rushing off to finish her closing duties as soon as the food reaches the table. Laura Remson is right on one account, respect was missing from the table. However, more often than not the disrespect originates from the customer, and not the staff. From reading her article [“Local businesses mistreat college students,” March 5, 2010] I can tell that Miss Remson has never worked a single night in the food service industry. I am not upset because she portrayed persons working in restaurant industry as a pitiful lot. As she stated: “We are college students and chances are we know someone who’s worked in the food service industry. We know what kind of money there is in this industry. Wouldn’t that make us feel more sorry for anyone in that situation?” I’m sorry, Miss Remson, but I love my job. I don’t work at a restaurant because of the money. OK, scratch that — the money is fantastic but it’s not the only reason I work there. I could have quit a long time ago but chose to stay because of the people I’ve Conservative changes mean met and the friendships that have begun as a result of my employment. People working for the service industry don’t need, or want, your pity. While I don’t intend to speak for everybody working in the service industry, we don’t want your charity tips. setback for Texas education The real reason I am upset is that her article, letter for letter, fit the stereotype that Wacoans place on us as On March 11, the Texas Board of Educa- cation has leaned toward a liberal agenda, Baylor students. tion made some very controversial deci- Editorial taking curriculum to the far right side of Baylor students walk into a business or restaurant sions regarding the materials that will be conservativism does not exactly bring and feel as if they are entitled to a higher echelon of covered in curriculums.

Baylor begins its NCAA tournament run against a Fresno State team opposite from the Lady Bears in every imaginable way. The Bulldogs have no starters above 6-foot-1, have scored 37 percent of their points from the 3-point line, are experienced and went undefeated in conference play. But having all the pieces to her puzzle together for the first time in a long period, coach Kim Mulkey is ready to go.
