Perhaps I should instead tell you of the people's republic of China

OH MY GOD THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW
I always wondered how it was possible for all the Chinese Immigrants going to my college to go to the Chinese restaurant and eat more food in one sitting than I can possibly imagine, and they were always thin.
They were used to eating everything at one time and then not eating again until the next day.
This explains why they would also spend hours at the restaurant eating a shared meal.
I have a couple in my town, and the owner there is becoming more based and angry with each passing day. He's actually super pissed that some of the Chinese people who want to work there are whining about not wanting to work a set schedule and wanting to get paid $16 /hr.
I feel like he's not wanting to deal with harboring indentured slaves when they don't even want to come to work.
The other one is owned by a family. The 8 year old ran my credit card. Good kids. The 16 year old was studying math in-between taking orders and answering the phone.
(This is why the Overseas Chinese do so damned well. Thomas Sowell proven right again)
Funny you mention that...I've been to at least two Chinese restaurants where I was convinced it was family owned and the entire family, including the kids, were working. It's not a diss either; they were always polite, efficient, and never idling when in public view...and the food was always good and served timely.
