Helpful Score: 3

I have to agree with another reviewer who said that this book wasn't quite what they thought it would be. The parts about the behind-the-scenes workings of a restaurant, waiting tables, and the people you encounter along the way were interesting. The author's whining and hypocrisy were not.

When did acting like a jerk become okay so long as you acknowledge that you're acting like a jerk? Isn't that in fact worse, since you know your behavior is obnoxious but just don't care enough to do anything about it? Because that's basically 'The Waiter's' whole deal - by the end of the book he's so burnt out and the rest of the staff at the restaurant he works at hates him. And not ONCE does he acknowledge that his actions had anything to do with that, even though they totally did.

His whining is really repetitive - the book could have been half the length that it is. Argh. So glad I did not pay for this.
