When I arrived at the entry point for Mount Rainier, the ranger at the gate suggested I dine for lunch at the Paradise Inn, as the setting was a classic dining setting, with a grand view, stone fireplace, pillars, and excellent service.
I have already mentioned some of that in a prior blog "Seattle: What I Saw, What I Did."
While I was eating at the Paradise Inn dining room, I realized that I did not notice when tables were being bussed. So, I watched carefully when the next set of diners left. The waiters were very surreptitious in regards to removing dirty dishes, and condiments from the tables. They pushed the old table cloth aside, and the new table cloth onto the table, so one never noticed it without a table cloth. All was done with a minimum of fan fare.
I have to think: this might be the way 5 star restaurants bus tables, and fine dining on cruise ships and in special establishments is accomplished. It was so seamless, so inconspicuous, it was as if the changes were not happening at all. Wow!
