Unlike the townspeople in "A Rose for Emily,"" the young waiter in "A Clean Well Lighted Place- was under the impression those with money are incapable of being overwhelmed with troubles. On page one hundred and fifty-nine, the young waiter says that the old deaf man tried to commit suicide over nothing. Being that the old man had plenty of money, according to the young waiter, he had nothing to be troubled over. He was under the impression those with riches do not have to put up with the same difficulties that those without money do.
