The Waiter You Stiffed Has Not Forgotten
The New York Times > Dining & Wine > The Waiter You Stiffed Has Not Forgotten:
"'I'd say waiting tables is one of the most stressful jobs you can have, short of being a firefighter or an inner-city police officer,' said Bruce Griffin Henderson, a singer-songwriter who did 10 years as a waiter in New York. 'You have no control over anything, but you are responsible for everything. You are always being squeezed by three immutable forces: the customer, the kitchen and the management.'"
Stressful??? I suppose, but I loved waitressing, would do it to this day if it paid and it were *appropriate*. It was a superb, fast-moving game, and physical on top of everything else.
