I have to admit that despite all the doom and gloom of the current worldwide economy I have found a few pluses that I have enjoyed. First, over the last couple months I have noticed I can go to any restaurant (as well as many other businesses), even with a large group, and have almost no wait. I get seated almost immediately and the servers seem to care more about giving good service. In fact, good service seems to be more common everywhere. Somehow, in the height of the “good” economy people just didn’t seem as friendly or gracious as they do now…
