When was the last time you went to

[Jonathan Bailey]

a restaurant with waitresses looking so classy as these sweet cookies? These are Mel's Diner waitresses, of course. Boy, those were the days. And how! I had the hots for Linda Lavin as a teenager. Those deep brown eyes. She and Natalie Wood.

I just expect them to bring me my food and be polite, not arouse me.

But I don't like to see waitresses with a hairstyle that looks like a pile of dog crap or a buzz cut or tattoos, or body-piercings. I don't like to see waiters with beards or ghetto looks also.

Women should dress and wear their hair like Alice waitresses and men should be clean-shaven with shirts, ties, slacks and shined shoes. Why the 21st century "people" (or whatever two-legged creatures that came here from outside the Milky Way) likes the fashion of UGLY and non-human is beyond me.

It's not uncommon to walk inside an IHOP these days and see dirt and scraps of paper all over the floor.

Who are you to say how others should look and behave? Their only job is to be clean to make and give food you food, and look well-kept. Having a hairstyle you don't like or tattoos has nothing to do with well-made food and good service.

Or roaches in the kitchen no matter how high end the restaurant.

These service people should appear presentable around customers who are eating. My mother taught me about looking presentable, often very firmly.

Ideas about what "presentable" looks like are cultural though, huh? They vary between communities and change over time.

Yes but what that means is not for you to decide when you are outside of your own home. I can't see how people find tattoos unpresentable, even though I dislike them myself. There's no reason for everyone to freeze their outfits in the 1940s. A shirt, skirt or trousers and a headband to keep hair out of food is enough.

"Mel, kiss my grits!"

I didn't think Alice was such a bad show, although it was the 70s when TV had been already moving in a different direction from the days of Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver.

You've got it all wrong. It's supposed to be a waiter wearing a top hat and a monocole. Classy!

 

[Stanyon]

you fapped to Mel's diner? Weird...

Huh??? Photoshop didn't exist in the '70s.

You sound like a very negative, judgmental and generally unpleasant person to be around. I feel bad for any server who has to serve you. You probably make their day worse and most of them already struggle.

Not in current form, but Soviets were using similar programs to edit people out of photos in the 30s and 40s; I wouldn't be surprised if airbrushing were a thing in the 70s.

That's a tv show, not real life.

You illustrate what you accuse..

A light hearted , nostalgic look at attractive women of yesteryear elicits this condemning response?

Why don't you try reading the post I actually was responding to?

Sounds like a good thread, I nominate Veronica Lake.
