On tiers: it's hard to get away from tier talk for anything. Universities are ranked, class rankings determine college acceptance, we get the top 100 restaurants, etc. This is standard stuff in life today....and it's OK. You are taking it personally and there is no need to do so.
Ranking restaurants is NOT the same as ranking people. You, dear, are ranking people. It doesn't get any more shallow than that.
