Seated one day in a Bob's Big Boy coffee shop waiting for the takeout
fish sandwich I noticed that all the cooks were men and all the table
servers were women. Thinking back, and consulting with others, it became
apparent that there is a universally high correlation along these lines in
that sort of establishment.  Do cooks get paid more?  Why don't women become
cooks?  Can a man be refused employment as a waitress?

Why do higher class restaurants hire waiters almost exclusively?
