Judge Me!

Meeting interesting people is attached as part of your job if you work in hospitality, including me. I just experienced something tonight that got me thinking. Who am I to judge people? And who are you to judge someone?

I was serving TWO customers, not only one, who proudly said "I work at Showgirls." First time, I was shocked, couldn't make eye contact as usual and speechless. I didn't know how to start a conversation without offending them. Because you know how hospitality, somehow you need to be friendly, start a regular conversation like "Been busy today?", "How's your day?" or anything you can come up with basically. But these two girls got me lost in ideas to have a little conversation while they were waiting. They're really friendly but I have no idea what to ask them!

I hope they didn't realize my shocking face when they told me that facts. Because I never had anyone so proud and open saying it out load. Another culture shock? I guess so. Apparently in my country, we can tell if someone is an 'escort', 'whore' or whatever they do in that business. They have different level and way of showing it but they won't tell other people out loud what they do, people just ASSUME, and assumption can be wrong, most of the time.

Different culture, different way of doing and saying things. In here, people can say and do anything they want without worrying what people might think. Their principle is "mind your own business!" People can be judgmental nowadays but I feel here is less than my own country, of course! People here can be whatever they want for living. Garbage man, cleaner, security, baby sitter, name it, they make money and they live from it, while in my country if your work as those jobs I've just mentioned, you're basically nothing. Let us look at ourselves and ask once again:

"Who are we to judge other people?"
