No.
The bartenders feel it is a major pain in the A** because: 1.) Dealing
with lots of rude kids who treat them like servants


They are servants aren't they? They should just be happy they have a
real bed to sleep in instead of the dirt they sleep on under their
thatched huts on the islands.


Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, no matter what position they
are in.

Amen! In many cases the "servants" are better educated than the
"servees(?)". They just don't have the same opportunities in their home
countries. Case in point- I engaged a busboy in conversation at the
Officers' Club at Naval Station Subic Bay a few years ago. He had a MBA,
but could make more in tips from the Americans than he could in his
profession on the local economy,
If the 2nd above comment wasn't a poor attempt at humor, it was unbelievably
arrogant.
