You are gonna' get dressed-up canned and frozen food at one-and-a-half to twice what a real chef's meal will cost there on a normal day, while being waited on by an amature...just so Hallmark can sell a card.
"I love ya' hun", I don't think so.
I know this because I quit after refusing to do this and told every restaurant that I gave my resume' to that I would not.
Florists do the same thing on a much worse scale.

We went to a restaraunt in the city and there was nothing assembly line about it. The only difference between val day and any other day was the glass of champagne and chocolate rose for the ladies on arrival.
I can understand your cynicism, however I think it's misplaced as far as most people are concerned. Just because you make one special day during the year doesn't mean couples don't have other special days too.
