Do people still have servants these days?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes, all of the above. Throughout undergrad, I was a part-time tutor at the homes of the richest of the rich in Lower Merion, PA. One home, in particular, was absurd. There was a separate parking lot for the family’s staff of 30. Maids, cooks, everything you can imagine. They had five of those really small, obnoxious dogs with the high-pitched barks, and each had their own engraved, platinum food bowls and diamond-encrusted collars. (How the dogs could read their engraved names is beyond me.) They also had a PA system. The first time I went to tutor in the home, I parked in the wrong spot, and it was blocking one of the 8 super expensive cars from being able to leave. I was informed of this over the PA system and asked to move my car.
