I am not a sociologist but there are times when I wish I were. Traveling on business. High end restaurant bar. Happy hour menu. Happy hour crowd. Food/drink from the bar menu, happy hour prices. A businees group of four comes in while they wait on their table and the last of their group. The group includes a senior guy, late fifties, a couple of forty something mid level managers (male) and what I will assume to be a young sales exec (female). They seem to be celebrating a victory. Good for them. After fifteen minutes or so a taxi pulls up and a female emerges, late forties or early fifties. Severe blonde, roots showing, wearing a heavy fur. She blows in to the bar like a queen bee and is part of the business group. She sees the young female exec....and the posturing begins. It was fun to watch. The queen became very loud and flamboyant. She loudly ordered "Whatever the men were drinking" (that's a whole 'nother story) to communicate that she was queen bee. The young exec handled it well and with diplomacy but the look on her face said, "uh huh, we'll see". Dang, I wish I could have followed the group to their table to continue to watch. I suspect alcohol may play a role in the eventual outcome. Where's a good sociologist when I need one. ????
