Stewart O'Nan gives us another real life story in this short book. Corporate decision to close a Red Lobster due to poor performance, not taking into consideration the corporation was part of the reason patrons no longer dined there. No upgrades to decor, no repairs mades, etc. But they expected Manager Manny to improves sales. How typical of corporate greed. This poignant story of the last night tells the strength the manager and staff have, the grit to even show up for the last night, especially with a snow storm brewing. Manny is a professional to the very end, even with his love life in shambles. A quick, enjoyable read.
