I especially like the waiter rule. I recently blogged about hiring professionals meeting with the receptionist to ask their opinion of a potential candidate after a job interview. It works both ways.

Unfortunately, this is so true !

But I think the main point of the rule is when you cross your conditions i.e. you're snooty even with a good waiter.
