The waiter / by Faldbakken, Matias,1973-author.(CARDINAL)424929; Menzies, Alice,translator.(CARDINAL)429826;
"In a centuries-old European restaurant called The Hills, a middle-aged waiter takes pride in the unchangeable aspects of his job: the well-worn uniform, the ragged but solid tablecloths, and the regular diners. Some are there daily, like Graham "Le Gris"--also known as The Pig--and his dignified group of aesthetes; the slightly more free-spirited drinking company around Tom Sellers; and the closest one can get to personal friends of the waiter, Edgar and his young daughter, Anna. In this universe unto itself, there is scarcely any contact between the tables...until a beautiful and well-groomed young woman walks through the door and upsets the delicate balance of the restaurant and all it has come to represent Like living in a snow globe, The Waiter is a captivating study in miniature. Everything is just so, and that's exactly how the waiter needs it to be. One can understand why he becomes anxious when things begin to change. In fact, given the circumstances, anxiety just might be the most sensible response..."--Provided by publisher.

The bitchy waiter : tales, tips & trials from a life in food service / by Cardosa, Darron,author.(CARDINAL)626487;
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.
