A waiter's job is to wait on tables. Not to judge the patrons and act smug.

How would you feel if you were that guy and you happened to read this? Would you go back there? How dare you judge others on the way they consume the products that they've paid for.
As his waiter you're his slave. Don't forget that you little bitch.

I've been able to work from anywhere on the planet since I was a little kid and setting up remote systems for companies in NYC, but it's usually nicer to go into work to make a presence and chat with my managers and directors.

If it's a snowfilled morning such as it now in NY then it's better to show up in person, that way manaement sees that I'm making an effort even beyond peer reviewed and externally audited code.

I don't bill for time that I'm not actually working which is another reason to be on site, I don't have to deal with time workng v time not working. If I have to do some shit at 3am in the morning it's no big deal, it all aggregates to the same 7 or 8 hours a day depending on the contract, I'm honest and stick to the spirit and not necessarily the letter of it, most companies are pretty cool about that too.

You're getting away from the topic. Nobody gives a fuck about what the guy does with his wine. It's his wine. He bought it so he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.
But the mere fact that the wait staff are laughing and snickering behind a patron's back because he's doing something that they've never seen before in their uncultured life is beyond reproach. It's completely unprofessional, childish, and extremely insulting.

When I go a restaurant I pay a chef to cook a meal for me. That chef then becomes my servant as he is performing a service for me (cooking my meal). He employs people to deliver the food to my table, and then to take away my dirty plates. That person is a slave to the chef who is a slave to me. A slave's slave. The bottom of the slave food chain. How does this make you feel?. I'll be damned if I'm going to be ridiculed and judged by someone who doesn't even make minimum wage.

This thread shows crystal clear who has worked in a retail / service industry job and who hasn't.

If I'm serving you with a smile and you have no problems with how I'm acting that's all fine and dandy. But let me tell you in reality I'm thinking of every possible way to squeeze extra money out of you by the end of the night.

You buy expensive wine because of its specific taste, putting coke into a wine ruins it, there is no question about this, you're deliberately diminishing the single quality for which you bought the wine for. Are you allowed to do this? Sure, no one can actually stop you, because you paid for it, but why would you pay for flavour that you are going to ruin?

You would be an idiot to not think of somebody who does such a thing to an expensive wine as a fool. And please feel free to argue that "well maybe he/she likes that specific wine like that", because deny it all you want, adding coke to an expensive wine is ruining its qualities, you're only going to be masking the taste of the wine.

I think you're giving that guy too much credit. Conspicuous consumption isn't necessarily truly based on cachet anymore, it's based on consumption. Coke in expensive wine is in the same ballpark as oil-rich rednecks rolling coal in their trucks, poor people with a million diamonds, expensive tattoos, or drowning yourself in too much expensive perfume. It's a hamfisted, childish, 'muh freedoms' way of showing off how much money you have. The sad thing is that people who are like this think anyone around them actually gives a shit about how much money they have.
