Waiter Rant: thanks for the tip --confessions of a cynical waiter by Steve Dublanica

I just finished listening to "Waiter Rant" on CD and LOVED IT! It was so funny and very poignant coming from the mind of a restaurant-staffer. From the voice of "the waiter" who remains anonymous and keeps his bistro anonymous as well, telling tales only someone from the inside would know. He spoke about how he came to be a waiter and his beginnings in life wanting to become a priest and attending seminary, only to find jobs in the psychiatric field that came and went. After many job losses, he decided to try being a waiter and only planned on doing so for the short term to earn some cash. His brother was kind enough to get him into the same place that he was working, and the Waiter soon realized that this was not such a glamorous field. He talks about everything from shoddy wait staff, to cheap customers, to horrible owners. He also talks about everything most people think about restaurants but often don't want to confirm---like the spitting in food, dropping food and the 10 second rule, workers not washing their hands after going to the bathroom, etc. A fun read and one that all can relate to if they have ever been a restaurant patron or in the business itself.
