“No soup for you!”
Everyone has dealt with a person like this at some point in their lives. In the sixth episode of season 7, titled The Soup Nazi, a new soup kitchen has opened causing Jerry and George to check it out after Kramer ranted about it. Now this soup kitchen isn’t like the rest, the owner demands a level of respect from his customers and refuses to give some people their meal if he believes they aren’t behaving appropriately.
When George notices he didn’t get free bread with his soup like everyone else in line he protests to Jerry’s dismay. The manager then tells George he will have to pay $2, then $3 for his bread and in the end he takes George’s soup back with the often-quoted
“No soup for you!”.
Now what does this have to do with your life? Well throughout society there are people who are given positions of power. Some of them take advantage of it and abuse their perks. For instance, perhaps a teacher just doesn’t like a student so they give them less than perfect grades on their papers, or maybe a manager has a problem with one of their employees so they make them stay after closing time.
The point is The Soup Nazi is everywhere and as long as there are people with more power than others he will continue to thrive.
So I ask you, who were your Soup Nazis?
