1899 Complains Complaints Garlic Restaurants Tuxedo Waiter
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1899 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene captures a moment of dining etiquette gone awry as a elegantly dressed lady in a tuxedo complains to her waiter about her food being "Too Garlicky for Lady."
The look on the waiter's face is one of polite concern, as he listens attentively to the lady's complaint. In an era where manners and decorum were paramount, it must have been quite scandalous for a lady to openly express dissatisfaction with her meal.
The historical significance of this image is not just in its depiction of fine dining customs, but also in its portrayal of societal norms and expectations during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into the world of high society restaurants and the interactions between patrons and staff.
As we marvel at the intricate details of their attire and surroundings, we are reminded that even something as seemingly trivial as too much garlic in one's food could be cause for distress. This print serves as a fascinating window into the past, inviting us to ponder how much has changed - or remained the same - when it comes to dining out and customer complaints.
