A Clean, Well Lighted Place

In the story, "A Clean, Well Lighted Place", I thought it was interesting when the waiters were talking about the old man. They were talking about him trying to commit suicide, the one waiter asked "why it was nothing" (the reason he tried to commit suicide was nothing, he had no reason) and the other waiter said "Because he has a lot of money". It's interesting how money seems to create happiness. Because you have a lot of money you have no reason to do anything. The waiter's seemed a little selfish. They're supposed to be at work, helping people with what they want. Maybe they should make the man pay before hand, and then give him his change before he leaves if he over paid. They should want the man to kill himself just because he doesn't leave until late at night.
