but there's a big difference between getting good service in a restaurant and getting good treatment in a hospital. I don't think the 2 are comparable at all.

1 is about smiling and providing friendly service and banter. The other is about providing life saving care. Obviously all nurses provide top quality care, they aren't worried about getting a tip, for good reason.

Restaurant servers are in the service industry, an industry about creating good experiences for people and they do get judged on a "performance".


I just don't think it's appropriate to compare the 2 at all. i think it's disrespectful to nurses to compare them to restaurant workers.
