<p>Just a frequently used term. Not calling any parent anything but trying to explain the depth of ambivalence about prestige chasers. Editted.</p>
<p>I usually have a prestige chaser with my champagne. ;)</p>
<p>No one thinks you’re naughty! You have three sons! You need a little bubbly in your day!</p>
<p>Here ya go - the prestige hoe <a href=“circlehoe.com”>circlehoe.com;
<p>By the way… am I the only one who finds themselves scratching their scalps after reading about all these shampoo bottle refills? All of a sudden I just feel… itchy… ewwww</p>
<p>At dinner I just commented to one D that I was tired of her calling her sister a ‘ho.’ Yogurt ho, frisbee ho, whatever. How did this ever slip into ordinary teen conversation? No, don’t tell me, I can imagine. Their language, and maybe that of the culture needs an upgrade of some sort. </p>
<p>Regarding ketchup bottles. I worked in many restaurants years ago, and refilling ketchup was a very typical duty in, I believe all of them. But pre plasic ketchup bottles!</p>
<p>One of my first jobs as a teen was refilling the ketchup bottles.</p>
<p>There are two kinds of people who have worked in restaurants: people who never eat out, because they know what goes on behind the scenes, and people who manage to get past that by going: eh-when we did it, we didn’t kill anyone. :)</p>
<p>I waitressed during high school and college in a “nice” steak house. (This was many moons ago.) At the end of the evening we “consolidated” all the ketchup, from the less filled bottles into the others.
Edit: And yes, conyat, do I have stories… ;)</p>
<p>So, to bring this thread full circle, restaurants can be less than perfect, get a healthcode rating in the 80s or 90s and still be very good and very successful (just don’t look in the kitchen at the food prep! 
)</p>
<p>I too remember re-filling the glass ketchup bottles…lol! (We did toss the little Louisiana Hot Sauce bottles when they were empty… 
) But this was pre-Tylenol scare. Now it seems everything is plastic, sealed and disposable.</p>
