[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought that everyone should be required to work food service at some point. It's so eye-opening.

And people who want to eat buttered noodles should do it at home for 25 cents and not waste a chef's time.[/quote]

I think that most people who want to eat buttered noodles in fancy restaurants with chefs, would require a babysitter to stay home, thus increasing the cost far beyond 25 cents.

Um... If you're feeding them to your kid, your kid would be with you. Thus, negating the babysitter, and increasing the cost above 25 cents. That was my point. [/quote]

I think that was PP's point.  Scenario: I want to go out to a nice-ish (still family friendly) restaurant with DH.  We have a young child.  Option 1: take child along, order something like buttered noodles from the kids menu for $10-15.  Option 2: bring in a babysitter for something like $30, depending on his/her rate and how far away the restaurant is ... assuming I can get a babysitter in the short notice that DH and I usually decide to go out.

Cost-wise, I'm better off asking the chef to lower himself to make buttered noodles. I'll leave a decent tip to make up for the indignity of it, I promise. It's still cheaper than hiring a babysitter to leave the kid at home [/quote]
