What about Goan waitresses? Are they being sidelined?

Please note that there were waitresses in the late 1880s at The Pub in
Mapusa run by Sylvester. Also at the Divar-Narvean Ferry there is a small
chai-bhaji shop where the owner oversees the kitchen while his wife serves
and does the billing. My friend also tells me that there is a waitress at
Viva Panjim restaurant in Fontainhas.
With the closure of dance bars in Mumbai perhaps we will see more of these
waitresses migrating to Goa. As always happens here the 'outsiders' will
take on the work we locals are not willing to do.
Cheers!
