Some wage slave making minimum wage doesn't hop to attention to the second a college educated "lifestyle website" owner walks in the door, let me break out the violins. Then she's going to give some condescending life advice to the guy who is supposed to wait on her hand and foot.

Lowly wage slaves have their ways to deal with annoying, self-important customers. I have friends who are waiters. Believe me, the people serving you your food have all kinds of ways to get back at obnoxious customers. If I ever have the misfortune to sit at a table with someone who acts obnoxiously toward my waiter, or sends food back to the kitchen, you can be assured that I am finished touching any food that will come out of that kitchen again, destined for my plate. You can search the web for blog posts about these things if you're interested.

Reactions to obnoxious customers is strictly unprofessionally and shouldn't be tolerated. Someone is paying you to do your job. Do it right.
If I am doing all the serving, and the cooks are doing all the cooking, what then is the Appleebee's CEO and stockholders doing? The people working at the restaurant are the ones creating the wealth. They're not "paying" me, I am "paying" them.
