VIP VIP</em></h3> <h3><em>Very specific guest Attn: Manager<br> <br> MUST great the guest by saying "Glad to see you Ms. Schenk"<br> <br> </em><strong>Or, you're fired?<br> <br> The Rules for greeting the Congressperson:<br> <br> Wow really? All CAPS? She must be very important if you have to shout at your most trusted servers to not be a polite server and make small talk about her history with dining there.<br> <br> </strong><em>THIS GUEST ALSO DOES NOT LIKE THE ANSWER OF A QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED "PERFECT"<br> <br> </em>I assume because nothing can be as perfect as Her Mightyness?<br> <br> Following this "perfect" announcement, there are a series of tables she will never be seated in, nor near anyone with a disability requiring a service animal.<br> <br> Also a whack at a particular server that once said PERFECT after being lambasted for asking if the Congresscritter had dined here before.<br> <br> And at the bottom the word "cupcake". This is a code to describe a very difficult customer.<br> <br> Why you might ask am I raking Ms. Schenk over the coals for her demands for special treatment? It's because she is a hypocrite of the highest order.<br> <br> Her personal history starts with her father emigrating to the US after surviving in the Nazi death camps for Jews. So her origins were humble. She went to law school in San Diego at USD, a Catholic University and then broke many societal norms as a strong and intelligent woman that fought hard for equal rights for women. She than worked in the first Jerry Brown administration in California, where she was the head of the state housing authority where she did nothing to create low income housing or to address the housing shortage that still exists more than 30 years later. And in this role she actually favored the building industry, which created the single family "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMansion">McMansion</a>" suburb sprawl that California is infamous for, and which fueled massive speculation in housing and lead to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008">crash of 2008</a>.<br> <br> After Brown failed in his attempt to a third term She went back to private life until she ran and lost a county supervisor seat. After that she won a seat in congress, the California 49th District, and held it for 2 years, and now gets a government pension and lifetime medical insurance, something no other citizens get.<br> <br> When <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Davis">Gray Davis</a> was elected Governor, she joined his administration as Chief of Staff, and pushed a truly Centrist agenda that alienated all the progressives, and equally repelled the republicans to the point that Davis got recalled, which forced a special election that got <a href="https://thepioneeronline.com/2309/layout/left-with-schwarzeneggers-collateral-damage/">Arnold Schwarzenegger</a> elected as governor, which was a complete disaster for the state, Before she left the Davis Administration, she managed to get herself appointed to several state boards, including the <a href="http://www.hsr.ca.gov/">High speed rail authority</a>, where she still is today, receiving a check for doing "Work" on the biggest <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2018/01/17/californias-boondoggle-bullet-train-abou">boondoggle</a> in California history.<br> <br> If any non-wealthy citizen walks into this restaurant, they get service, likely good service, but never this personalized.<br> <br> If a obscenely wealthy and powerful "Party Aparatchik" walks in, she gets the world handed to her on a platter. This is the wealthy 1% versus everyone else caste system in action folks,and even the party of the people, the Democrats are playing this game as the vast majority of the regular citizens get the shaft.<br> <br> <strong>All imagery by</strong> <a href="https://steemit.com/@dawg-boy"><strong>@dawg-boy</strong></a></h3> <h3><strong>If you enjoy my original content, please upvote, resteem, and follow me</strong> <a href="https://steemit.com/@dawg-boy"><strong>@dawg-boy</strong></a></h3> <h3><a href="https://steemit.com/trending/socalsteemit"><strong>#socalsteemit</strong></a> <strong>is building and supporting the Steem platform community of Southern California.
