In America and at the right restaurant, servers can make bank, but for this snooty, high-society family, the bottom line of your annual income made no difference if you hailed from the service industry.
Perhaps pretentious people simply forgot what it's like to be a regular, working-class person or never experienced what it was like to work in a 'service profession'—like retail or the restaurant industry. Greasing the wheels of society, employment in the minimum wage sphere should be highly regarded, but to snooty, snobby parents with dated opinions, once you're a server, you'll never be more than just a waiter.
But this woman in our next story was a child of pretension and ended up marrying a man who was out of her tax bracket anyway. As a server at a high-end restaurant, he was pulling well over $200k, but to her parents, it still wasn't enough. Keep scrolling to read how a class dispute turned a 30th-anniversary party into the family drama that drove a wedge between worlds.
