Buyer is king

What a wonderful world it would be if all restaurants gave good service to their customers, irrespective of sex or age.

I daily eat at different restaurants, but always feel rather disappointed after. Almost all of them give only "food," and not service. Yet they never fail to charge their customers 10 percent service tax.

Besides, I have the impression that my young age often leads them to misjudge me. A young lady though, I never have the intention to evade my bill. Why should I?

I think they should know the economic motto: "Buyer is King, seller is beggar." I would like to think that no restaurant discriminates against young ladies.
