I'm guessing you haven't been to Germany? "Good help" and any of the
following words - pub, bar, restaurant, tavern, boozer, any establishment
that involves waiting on customers - rarely go hand in hand. Servers in most
parts of the country are notoriously inattentive, the notable exceptions
being the servers in teh beer halls of Cologne and Dusseldorf.

Not that this would make them any more motivated, mind you.
