Unless the star is being a jerk. It's good for a restaurant when celebrities dine there, and the other people would have enjoyed having Elvis Costello in their midst. And let's remember that Origami has autographed photos of stars on their walls. They haven't asked for my photo, so maybe that's a form of preferential treatment?Pamela Espelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239608155646396942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608328763829731453.post-62884612597514614192009-07-14T13:01:23.960-07:002009-07-14T13:01:23.960-07:00Like Choie, I don't believe in preferential tr...Like Choie, I don't believe in preferential treatment either, but I certainly believe in being a representative of "Minnesota Nice" to out-of-towners.
