巴黎这两家餐馆看颜值安排座位
Two trendy restaurants in Paris give good-looking people better tables than not-so-good-looking people. This is according to staff who used to work at the two eateries. The former employees told a Parisian newspaper about the restaurants’ seating policy. They said, “The good-looking customers are led to the good places, where they can be easily seen; the non-good-looking ones must be seated in the corner of the restaurant.” This rule did not apply to celebrity(名人) diners. The rule for them was that, “pretty or ugly, old or young”, they got the good tables. Even the waiters and waitresses were employed based on looks. One ex-waitress said, “Anyone short, without a model’s build(体型) and over 30 need not apply.”
The ex-staff members said the restaurants’ owner wanted to make sure the restaurants had a good image by seating attractive guests in easy-to-see places. They said the restaurants’ owner would visit regularly to make sure his “beauty policy” was working. If he saw someone whose face he didn’t like at a good table, he would tell the staff, “There are good-looking people, you put them here; there are bad-looking people, you put them there.” Furthermore, staff could not promise to give a table to customers who telephoned to book a table, just in case they were not beautiful. Staff only decided where to seat them after they came to the restaurant and looked at their faces.
