The money is good but the work sounds like a perfect nightmare. You have to wonder what happens when one day things come full circle. That ultra-demanding client who needed their food cooked hyper-precisely or else becomes physically unable to eat or appreciate the taste of any food because they have dementia and are bed-ridden. It would be the cruel irony of fate if their care-provider fed them common people meals all pre-cooked and soul-less. It seems like flexing power needlessly as this story describes could have karmic consequences. This one was even a bit amusing for me as an avid tea-drinker
For one client, water had to be heated to 180 degrees, then cooled to 120 degrees before the tea was put in. The tea would be steeped for 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cup cooled to 70 degrees for serving.
That process would ruin the taste of the nicest teas so whomever is asking for it likely has no interest or appreciation for teas. Such seems to be the case with other examples cited - the point is not about enjoying the food and using the gift of wealth to make each meal an unforgettable experience, try authentically prepared foods from all over the world from the comfort of home. That seems like a luxury such money could easily buy but that does not seem to the point at all.
