Good Luck.
Two trendy restaurants Paris give good-looking people better tables than not-so-good-looking people. This is according to staff who used to work the two eateries. The former employees told a Parisian newspaper the restaurants' seating policy. They said: "The good-looking customers are led to the good places, where they can be easily seen; the non-good-looking ones must be seated the corners the room." This rule did not apply to celebrity diners. The rule them was that, "pretty or ugly, old or young," they got the good tables. Even the waiters and waitresses were employed based looks. One ex-waitress said: "Anyone short, without a model's physique and over 30 need not apply."
The ex-staff members said the restaurant owners wanted to make sure the restaurant had a good image seating attractive guests easy-to-see places. They said the restaurants' owner would visit regularly to make sure his 'beauty policy' was working. If he saw someone whose face he didn't like a good table, he would tell the staff: "There are good-looking people, you put them here; there are bad-looking people, you put them there." Furthermore, staff could not promise to give a table to customers who telephoned to make a booking, just case they were not beautiful. Staff only decided where to seat them they came to the restaurant and looked their faces.
