Jan in VA

I read thru all the comments looking for the one that bugs me the most.
I have actually corrected/instructed/challenged/reprimanded? hostesses and/or servers who see a couple (or a single) come in and, failing to notice that they are mobility-impaired -- with a cane or walker or limp or crutches or merely quite aged, they walk 'miles' to seat them instead of respectfully placing them at a close table so the customer doesn't have to struggle to their seat. I can only assume it's because so many of these server/hostess persons are young enough that they just don't pay any attention. The same with failure to hold the door; drives me nuts. This is just plain rude and should be addressed in training by their managers. I live in a town with a large elderly population and I notice this situation frequently. Many of our servers are students at the Three colleges in town; how have they gotten this far without some observational and reasoning skills? Sigh.
