Yes, thank you.
But it still doesn't explain why the on-line dictionaries failed so
abysmally.

Hoi oligoi
Hoi polloi = the many (close your eyes and think of 'poly-')
Oligos = few. Think oligarchy.

"Painted bronze" is what it's called out here amongst the great unwashed
hoi polloi.
On a different note, I've found another failure by the internet.
None of the on-line dictionaries shows an antonym for "hoi polloi";
plenty of synonyms, but no antonyms.
Had to come up with them myself. Bummer!

Thanks, Cotty and Rick.
The waitress is real, but the waiter behind her is not. He is not
exactly wooden, however, but painted bronze. He is located in the
patio of the Peacock Cafe at Grounds for Sculpture.
The waiter is a work based on a figure in the background of Edouard
Manet’s painting Chez le Pere Lathuille:

The waiter is one of a number of works at Grounds for Sculpture based
on famous Impressionistic paintings:

Yes, he seems a bit stiff; I imagine his personality has been described
as wooden.
Though his family probably regards him as a chip off the old block.
