   The first year that I was teaching , I was asked to help judge the classes’ fire safety contest posters. The winning class was going to get to take a trip to visit the fire house. I voted for the second grade class as first prize, everyone else voted for fifth grade class. The fifth grade one maybe was a little better, but I thought that given the talent disparity, and how well that they had worked on it, the second graders deserved to win for their effort. But the fifth grade class won, and afterward, I was told, the fifth grade always wins, the arrangement was already made for them to take the trip.

And that was back when they made even less per hour than these days, with smaller tips since the prices were lower. Today, it is just hurry up and eat, we need your table for the next customer.
