I want one for my birthday!

Lands perfectly on dining room table pads.

What is it called? Crumber? Crumb-picker-upper? What?

A blogger calling him/herself "Well Seasoned" adds this to a list of top seven complaints about service offered by Portland restaurants:

The De-Crumbing Ritual: after you’ve finished your main course, the server or busser comes by with one of those little devices that looks like a straight razor and very meticulously sweeps every visible and invisible crumb off the tablecloth. Message: “You slob!”

Well, I'm not so sure about all that. Many Chicago restaurants' waiters come by with those little crumb scoopers, and I've never been offended.

In fact, Superior Table Pad has for some time been looking for a wholesale source for these devices so we can offer them (at bargain prices of course) to hosts/hostesses who like to clean up a little between courses.

But if it's going to say to guests: "you slob," well, maybe it is time to re-think the whole idea.

The march of globalization continues as luxury items get less and less expensive.

But think about it -- why should we complain about our children being able to afford ten times as much as our grandparents?
