More pointless flameyness...

My god, people. She's not asking for the world on a silver platter, despite what you appear to think. Strangely, I believe that asking for your waiter to say "you're welcome" when your son says thank you isn't asking for special treatment, especially when everyone else got that reply. And I grasped her request just by reading her first post, not to mention her many responses. Can some of you folks just, y'know, grow up?

Whilst I sympathise with her in her cultural situation, I remember how bloody sick I was of hearing "you're welcome" by the end of my last trip to the States. The place it really got to me was in Death Valley, though I couldn't tell you why. Maybe it's 'cos the place we stayed there was 5 star so service was superfawning *shrugs*
