Waiter Rant: Thanks For The Tip-Confessions Of A Cynical Waiter

I came late to this party & arrived through the back door by reading the book before the blog, http://waiterrant.net/. “The Waiter”, now outed, but previously anonymous, shows us all the fun, frightening, & hilarious aspects of waiting tables in the New York area. Anyone who has earned a living waiting tables or even toiled in the service industry will sympathize with him. Customers behaving badly seem to provide the most laughs. I like the way he straddles his duties on the front line with them & manages to keep his cool with the people in the kitchen when things so astray. His writing is good & if you start to follow his blog, you can see it evolve over time. He goes from just telling stories of restaurant drama to relating these stories to his world view. I hear he’s working on a new book about tipping & I look forward to it.
