No love for Valentine's from chefs

The singleton's hatred of Valentine's Day is only outweighed by that of chefs, apparently. As the Guardian discovered, chefs do not look forward to what is one of the busiest nights of the year. Special menus cause irritation, as do heart-shaped cutters and moulds for shaping the food. Some chefs and restaurant staff expressed equal exasperation over the doe-eyed couples and the couples for whom the honeymoon has long been over, though Sally Clarke, who runs Clarke's, in London, said she enjoyed seeing the looks of delight on the faces of customers who find a pink ring box passed over the table at the end of the evening.

The chefs and staff would probably feel more warmly towards the holiday in future if they had to suffer through one with no customers, since the only thing worse than a customer who is so lovestruck they neglect to tip, is a customer who doesn't come at all.
