The latter. Berghoff waiters were always pleasant, helpful, and professional in my experience.

Unions have cost me time and trouble most every time I encounter them. Bad problems with shows in the Chicago area, which of course is why many exhibitions are moving to Las Vegas, Orlando, etc.

"Plug in a lamp in your booth? Why, certainly, I'll have to call the electrician. He'll be here in three hours. Please fill out this form and leave a check for $56, for a minimum half-hour at $112 an hour, with Exhibition Services."
