I can strongly affirm that there is presence of inequality in the Athens restaurant due to the fact that they would only provide good customer service if you physically demonstrate that you belong to a middle or higher class. Thus, the people inside this restaurant have the same idea in their mind, which make the only interact with people from their family or people that share the same social status, making me automatically link it to the concept of reciprocity. I believe that this links to reciprocity because in the Athens restaurant is very notable the exchange between costumers and workers. Costumers provide high profits to the restaurant and in exchange they give them good services, but they closely judge people by the physical appearance to find out which economic class they belong to, and provide good or poor customer service. In contrast, the Epic café shows a different reality because they break a lot of stereotypes commons in most of restaurants. This idea that I mentioned before about reciprocity in the Athens restaurant based on the economic class, is not an issue in the Epic café because it seems that they have a different motto. I believe that the key to this situation is in the idea that many people have about who should interact to whom. Most of the societies have the idea that rich people should only interact with rich people, white people only with people form the same race, and so on. I noticed that this strongly affect the social mobility of the people who gets judged or mistreated for being in a lower social class because they will not have the chance to interact with them , and maybe share some experiences, knowledge, and learn strategies to be successful. Moreover, the social interactions in these restaurants even make think of
