--- needs a little work.

So a new restaurant opens in our area. (Name and location withheld). The owner states that he wants this restaurant to earn a Michelin star.

So we go in, white table cloths, nice seats, wall decor is sparse but ok.

But he also has a secondary goal.... to hire kids of a high school or college age and maybe interest them in a career in the restaurant industry. So far, all is good until this girl, maybe high school or so and she is taking our beverage order.

But all the while she is doing this, her nose is running and she is sniffling. Instead of going into the kitchen or wherever and "blowing her nose," she is sniffling while taking beverage and later, supper orders.

Most of the service from the kid was up to par. Orders were written down and delivered to the proper seat at the table.

But if there is gonna be a Michelin rating, the plan needs a little work.

Most can’t afford to take a day off work when sick. But then I don’t want a grocery store cashier handling all my purchases while sniffling or coughing, either. And it has happened before.
