JT,
I see your point. Maybe you are right. What struck me as particularly odd though, was those trips to the laundry by Jean-Pierre, every time he visits the Café. If the tables are that dirty as described by the Jean, don't you think even Cindy would have suspected something amiss?
Let us say Cindy wears sleeveless dresses so no chance of her sleeves getting dirty. I still think she would say, hey wait a minute, where the hell did I gather all this dirt stuck on my forearms? You see what am saying?
A table covered with a thick layer of dirt is not exactly inconspicuous. You can spot it even by merely drinking Sprite from a clear glass. After picking the glass from the dirty table you would want to investigate if the dirt you are looking at is inside or outside the glass. All this is what led me to my initial conclusion that perhaps these people are talking about two different restaurants.
But as you say, there may be other more logical explanations. Going by your logic, maybe as soon as Cindy walks in, they usher her to the clean side of the restaurant where the well trained waiters are waiting to reward her many years of good patronage. Whereas here comes Jean-pierre and he is herded like sheep, toward the filthy area because they don't care for his once in a blue moon visits to the restaurant. And after receiving a shoddy service and shoddier food, he walks out with a shirt needing the laundry.
The constant trips to the laundry is what would tick me off, to be honest with you. I don't care much for white vs brown bread.
