The net worth of the people is not relevant. The largest payer didn't consume a $73 dinner, and the least didn't order just a soda. They all consumed the same level of service.
Wow. This is completely based on the projections of your class warfare fantasies, but has nothing to do with the analogy.
OTOH, it does provide some insights into your psychological issues.
Get help. Seriously.
Except that the "fantasy construct" is an excellent analogy. Wei's addition of his emotional baggage doesn't change it.
