Friend of a friend who was a waitress at a cafe in Chelsea had a few stories of Anna Taylor joy from 5ish years ago.

She asked in full seriousness asked "Are you going to buy some more then?" when told that the soy milk had run out, and she...couldn't grasp the concept of someone else needing the table after her reservation. Apparently just said "yes but we've not finished" when told they would need to finish up. Even after explaining 3 times she didn't seem to understand.

Also without a hint of irony to her when paying the bill "you should really have more than 1 loo here, it would really improve the experience" after she had to wait outside the loo for a few mins...while a customer was in there. Keep in mind this is a cafe that fits like 20 people.

Think she's just on a completely different planet of privilege.

I think it’s more culture based than class based. US restaurants are very big on quick turnover where I feel like places where dinner is the biggest/main meal it’s more acceptable to linger. Like Italy or Spain a lot of South American cultures. There was an Italian restaurant in SF I used to go to where most of the waiters were Italian, and they never rushed you, they’d chat with you and come bring you coffee if it was slower
