Editorial Reviews:

According to The Waiter, eighty percent of customers are nice people just looking for something to eat. The remaining twenty percent, however, are socially maladjusted psychopaths. Waiter Rant offers the server's unique point of view, replete with tales of customer stupidity, arrogant misbehavior, and unseen bits of human grace transpiring in the most unlikely places. Through outrageous stories, The Waiter reveals the secrets to getting good service, proper tipping etiquette, and how to keep him from spitting in your food. The Waiter also shares his ongoing struggle, at age thirty-eight, to figure out if he can finally leave the first job at which he's truly thrived.

Summary: As I anticipated
Comment: Before I bought this book, I've read a lot of positive comments on it. And my anticipation was 100% positive once it reached me and the first page was opened. The language is easy to understand even to my not-so-fluent-English-speaker hubby. I recommend this book to those who want a light and enlightening subject that is close to us as restaurants patron.

Summary: Fun Read
Comment: Full of The Waiter's innermost thoughts and secrets. He discusses customers, staff his likes and dislikes. From his perspective are 40 tips on how to be a good customer and 50 ways to tell a bad restaurant although many of these would be from a workers view. I wish I knew which real world establishment The Bistro is. A good quick read.

Summary: Wonderful book!
Comment: Thanks, from one waiter to another. I probably don't have another thing to add as all of these scenarios have happened to me. Great read with really good visual images. I was right there in the Bistro with you.

Summary: kneadu
Comment: Working in a tourist town where eating and drinking are one of the main things to do, I really related to the writer. Cracked me up and may very well have made me more tolerant. Easy to follow, and fast reading, or you can pick it up anywhere. Not sure a customer who never worked that side of the table would change their habits/behavior. It is a service industry-to the maxx!

Summary: Ecellent!!
Comment: I think this book was excellent. It was a great storyline version of what it's like to be a waiter/waitress. I can totally relate to it and i think everyone should read it whether not your a waitor or even a customer to your favorite restaurant. Once you read it, you will appreciate being a waiter or maybe even appreciate the waiter/waitresses that you have when you go out to eat!
