Do you always get seated next to the kitchen or the bathroom in restaurants? Well, we hate to break it to you, but it might be because of your looks.
A new Channel 4 documentary called Tricks of the Restaurant Trade claims that restaurants in London will seat attractive people in at the window seats to make their clientele seem sexier, and put less desirable people out of sight. The show sent four hot AF models into three high-end restaurants in the capital, and unsurprisingly they were all given tables up near the front. But when the show’s host Adam Pearson, who suffers from neurofibromatosis, leaving his face covered in tumours (and who you might recognise from other documentaries, and Under The Skin with Scarlett Johansson) went in to the same places, he was either put near the back, or even told there was no room. That’s cold.
Adam Pearson, who suffers from neurofibromatosis.
Obviously, these are extreme cases, but it’s not good to hear—especially for a guy with facial disfigurements who’s been bullied all his life to be parred by businesses in this day and age.
