was a (surprisingly great) relief. From a feminist perspective, this is a rich area for study. I would like to further explore the subject, to study the relationship between the server and the served…as “the relationship between the waiter and diner is problematic because of the blatant purchase of human service that is involved” (Finklestein, p. 56).

disjointed reader’s point of view. It shows you as disconnected from them as they are from each other, blocked by the pane of curved glass looking among the patrons with a complacent eye. Though are we not lucky to be not one of those located at the diner? Their pleasures pleased and their satisfactions satisfied through their actions to create a sense of affirmation in their existence on this planet. Each one of them has done one thing or another seen as taboo in society in order to bring some sort
In reading the article Diner Beware, data collected through studies have revealed how diners can be manipulated to spend more money through visual, audio, environmental and other sensory stimuli. Many restauranteurs have begun to implement changes based on the findings in these studies much like the music industry has made changes as described in an article by Derek Thomson The Shazam Effect.

Bill was a man of habit. He had eaten at Ruby’s Diner every year for the past 20 years, since his retirement. He had worked for the same company for 25 years before that. He had been married to Trudy for 50 years and they had 4 wonderful children. Trudy was now across town with her women’s bible study group which she had done every Sunday evening for the last twenty years, leaving Bill to fend for himself. Ruby’s Diner served an amazing clam chowder and the view across the street on
McDonald's and Fox's Diner McDonald's and Fox's Diner are two of the restaurants in Lake City, Tennessee. But even though they both sell hamburgers in the same town, they don't have anything else in common. They cater to different types of customers, there is a noticeable difference in service speed, and every facet of doing business is handled differently. Even the atmosphere of these two places is in contrast. These two restaurants do not compete for the same customers. McDonald's

Thursday night. I picked up an extra shift at my job. I work at Wendy’s Diner, a popular old-fashioned diner on the corner of Gilbert Street. It is well known for its 80’s retro vibe. It mainly attracts customers between the ages of 45 and 70. That night, the diner was very crowded, which was unusual for a Thursday night, but I didn’t mind it because I was able to collect more tips. One customer in particular always came to the diner when I worked. His name was Bobby Nickel, a tall man in his
breath takes our order. Jorge, and I sit in the booth closest to the nearest exit door of an old-school 50's style diner. Pictures of Elvis Presley, Humphrey Bogart and James Dean decorate the velvet walls while music from the late great Buddy Holly plays on the speakers. It is a slow night at the diner, as only a few tables are occupied. I assume the customers are regulars at the diner as they yell back and forth from table to table, talking about the baseball game, something I don't eavesdrop in
I had just turned ten when my mom first took me to the Salisbury Chess Club at the Sage Diner. The dilapidated Sage Diner dressed as if it were in the 50s (Absolute), I was immediately enamored by the chess pieces. Soon, I established a reputation for myself as a capricious tactician able to beat all but the most experienced players. Consequently, I played with one of the better players, Phil (Appositive), almost every week. Through my chess games with Phil, I learned many values, like patience and

lifeless between the streets, the diner, and the buildings that arise behind it. While the light within the diner aluminates through the windows and latches on to the dark gloomy streets, four people sit in inaudible silence as the chef cleans out a glass. A woman with a red dress that matches her flowing hair sits looking uninterested and exhausted while she examines her hand. Meanwhile, two men in black suits with stern postures beam over the red diner bar. The diner separates the four people from
Nighthawks is perhaps the painting that embodies whom Edward Hopper was as an artist. The whole scene of a diner at night creates this entire different mood then it would if it was painted at a different time of the day. When we think of night, there are many things that happen, more obscurity and more curiosity. With this painting you can start to create the narrative, that these individuals are loners, they like to come out at night to escape the day. This idea that these people come to this place
Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks depicts a diner on a city street at night. The businesses surrounding the diner are visible, but the diner is the focal point. The diner appears to be the main source of light. Inside the diner there are four people, three sitting around a bar while the fourth is behind the bar serving customers. A man and a woman are sitting directly next to each other facing us, on the other side of the bar, a man is sitting alone with his back to us. The painting does not use very many
In general, this place is a place where diners can have high expectations as they will be treated for what they pay. The only time when guests complain is when they are demanding and have too high expectations, I suppose.

The realism style of the painting that contributes greatly to the intense effect on the viewer, chosen for this reason, will be explored as well. The somber and lonely mood of the painting will be analyzed as well as the aspects of the empty street and the sparsely populated diner. I will discuss how the painting accurately represents the Great Depression era it was painted to portray
They would always come to the diner early in the morning and tell stories of there experiences in the police department. But this particular night was going to be different from any other night. As we proceeded to enter the theater we walked up a flight of stairs to the second floor of the theater. As I entered the theater I was surprised how small it was. The stage was set up as a diner in City of Chicago in the 1970’s at approximately two in the morning. The diner consisted of a working stove,
Nighthawks was painted in 1942 by Edward Hooper, and inspired by a diner located on a wedge shaped corner in Hooper’s old New York neighborhood. Though the diner that inspired Nighthawks has since been destroyed, the image with its nonexistence narrative and detailed composition, has an everlasting quality. The painting portrays four people sitting in a diner late at night. Do the four people know each other? Or have the come to the diner to take refuge in each other’s silent company? The uncommunicative
