This is one of those that I picked up off my bookshelf and thought, why not? It's like her memoirs, and a lot of stories and the truth about waitressing and whatnot. Each chapter seems to be like a different time in her life, and just general knowledge thrown in there. She talks about how waiters/waitresses can tell what kind of customers people will be just by their appearance and where they're from. She noted that New Yorkers are good tippers (Stored that away for later use). I also learned that the origin of the word "tips" is unknown, but a good hypothesis is that it used to stand for "to insure prompt service" and was later shortened to somewhat of an acronym. Huh, sounds good to me. Well, anyway. I'm starting to find out that I really like memoirs! Tina Fey's was very good, and now I'm liking this one. We may be on to something here! I really like her figurative language--it keeps everything very interesting. Things that would normally be rather ordinary to read are more interesting by the way she uses words. In all honesty, there is nothing I dislike about the book thus far. One of my favorite stories is about when she applied to work in the kitchen at Yellowstone. Her boyfriend applied too, and told her that she would probably not be accepted into the program. Talk about irony, (I think) she was accepted and he was not! She wrote about how horrible it was to work there, and how cruel the hierarchy of food service is. After a few weeks, she made her boyfriend come get her. He took her to meet his parents and it was too weird for her, so she just left! She also told a story about the trucker on her Greyhound bus that seemed to be nice, then tried to take advantage of her. Yeah, it sounds bad the way I'm describing it now, but it was pretty funny when she wrote it. It's one of those, "you had to be there" moments. Rather, a "you had to read that" moment. In any event, I'm really enjoying this book so far. I'm excited to read the rest of it soon. ...more "
