Men, what’s one small, seemingly insignificant thing you’ve noticed that can be a telltale sign of the difference between a genuinely good man and a bad one?

Agreed. The whole world can't be made of 100% doctors and lawyers and astronauts and shit. The brain surgeon on his commute to the hospital still needs a breakfast burrito on the way, and that person deserves to be treated like a human still.

60-80% of people would crumble in a dinner rush in a busy restaurant. Yes tipping culture I understand the frustrations there, but I can tell you restaurants can have servers making $25-30+/hr (effectively) and still not keep staff all that long. It's very mentally demanding and that's IF management/coworker drama isn't bullshit and IF bad customers are relatively few. (I've worked as both a line cook and server and while server pays better, line cook is WAY less stress just knocking out expo orders and not dealing with troublesome or impatient customers.) Whenever I worked dinners even though I made good money I couldn't just "go to sleep" after, I'd be wound up even if it was a relatively smooth shift and I'd have to unwind from the fast pace and mentally demanding job. If understaffed a lot of times some tables would have to wait for me just because the process of bringing drinks, taking orders, and bussing food meant I was constantly on my feet moving from table to table trying to juggle it so that no one is waiting more than like 10 - 15 minutes at worst.
