Restaurant Wait Time Cartoon - Humor in Hospitality Service #3836562 (License: Personal Use)

The black-and-white line drawing depicts a well-dressed couple standing on a restaurant’s entry stoop beside a sign reading “PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED.” The woman, holding a handbag, speaks to her companion, quipping, “I understand the new usher is in the restaurant business,” implying a former theater employee now works as a host. The artist’s signature, “Campbell,” appears at the bottom left.
