Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip--Confessions of a Cynical Waiter by The Waiter (Steve Dublanica)My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
For some reason, I've fallen into reading these books about waiting tables - I'm fascinated with it, even though (or maybe because) I've never done it. I'd be terrible - noone would be able to hear me, and I'm bad with names - but books like this make me want to give it a shot sometime.
The Waiter gives us his history in waiting, his theories of waiting, and lots of great stories from the trenches of working in a few Italian restaurants in New York. He's thoughtful, honest, and very funny. Enjoyed the book very much.

I think I'd make a terrible waitress, but I've also thought about what it would take to be a good one. I mean, I can be a very demanding consumer when it comes to eating out- throwing out requests as the server goes by on some other errand and expect them to remember... I tend to forget little details unless I write them all down, so I'd probably be on the low end of the tipping pool. So when I get a good server, I do my bes to show my appreciation in my tips (especially when my messy kids are involved!).
