This picture of some servers at my job is an example of
ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is defined as a tendency to use our own group’s
ways of doing things as a yardstick for judging others. This is very apparent
with this group of girls because when we get new servers we end up judging how
they serve compared to us. Little things like how we use trays and run our own
food are totally different at other restaurants, but we use our methods to
judge others. This was even more relevant when I went and got another server
job. Everything they did at that restaurant was weird because that was NOT how
MY group of servers did it. We are all taught that the way we do things is
correct and good, and this creates a huge base for judgment.
