The bitchy waiter

Millions of people have, at some point in their lives, waited tables. Some only did it in college, or got out by sheer determination, good luck . . . or suicide. Others took it on as permanent employment. And many remain haunted by nightmare scenarios where they are the sole server in a restaurant packed with complaining patrons. For all those disenchanted current and former food service employees, Darron Cardosa has your back. His career began at a Texas steakhouse in 1984, and since 2008 he's vented his frustrations in the popular blog The Bitchy Waiter. Cardosa distills 30 years of food service into dark, funny tales--about crazy customers, out-of-control egos, and what really goes on in that fancy restaurant--that anyone who worked in the industry will recognize and relate to.
