The analysis of the photographic image highlights extremely poor hospitality etiquette and service standards, showcasing both complacency and compromise?

Observations, include:

  1. The individual is wearing Fine White Gloves within a Formal setting, but is Not wearing a Formal Long-Sleeved white shirt to compliment the uniform's attire?

  2. *WHY is the individual wearing formal white gloves, but conversely, is wearing a Short-Sleeved and Wrinkled shirt?

  3. The short-sleeved shirt is clearly Not Ironed?, and requires Valet Pressing?

  4. Upon instantaneous viewing, the shirt resembles a Chef's Whites work uniform?, and is certainly Not the correct uniform etiquette required for Front of House guest services?

  5. The formal table presentation highlights there is No Teaspoon to compliment the fine china Cup and Saucer setting? Likewise, this is observed further when the photograph is Enhanced.

  6. Why is the Gloved Left Hand Holding the cup and saucer Upon The Table?
