Overheated Customer and Obsequious Waiter, 1903 This intriguing photograph captures a moment of tension between a frustrated customer and an attentive waiter in a elegant dining room, dated back to 1903. The overheated customer, dressed in fashionable attire, clutches a glass of water with a determined grip, her face contorted in discomfort and annoyance. The obsequious waiter, dressed in formal livery, bows low and offers a concerned expression, his hands folded in front of him. The room around them is filled with other patrons, all seemingly oblivious to the scene unfolding before them. The cause of the customer's discomfort is not clear, but it is evident that the waiter is doing everything in his power to alleviate her distress. The use of props such as the tray of food and the water pitcher adds to the sense of formality and elegance, as well as emphasizing the contrast between the customer's agitation and the waiter's deference. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the dynamics of dining etiquette and customer service during the early 20th century. The image also raises questions about the power dynamics between customers and staff, and the lengths that waiters were expected to go to in order to please their patrons. Overall, this photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history of dining and hospitality, and the complex relationships that exist between customers and those who serve them.
