They even have a white tablecloth restaurant as part of the dining facilities where kids are required to make reservations, show up properly attired, and use correct table manners--basically training ground for being interviewed at a meal. I realize this is no big deal for DCUM Mrs. Simpson types, but for a kid who did not get those kinds of skills and experiences growing up, it is a thoughtful way of levelling them up.[/quote] That's actually kinda nice they do that.[/quote]
