Clam Chowder:
The Server's Field Manual
by Matt Lehman
Paperback:
140 pages
Publisher:
Velcro Crayons Publishing (January, 2004)
ISBN:
0974911313
Book Description
Having read everything I could get my hands on about waiting
tables and the like, I found one common thread. Every book
seems to be written to give the customer a new perspective.
Haven't we given enough to these ungrateful slobs? Isn't it
funny that even after the tables are wiped, the ketchups
refilled, and the tips collected we are still trying to earn
their respect? Screw the customers.
Clam Chowder is for the waiters and waitresses.
Being realistic, I also realized that I don't want servers to
think about tables outside of work. Clam Chowder is designed
to be read AT WORK! It fits perfectly into an apron or back
pocket. Pick it up between tables, read a few pages, laugh,
put it back in your apron, and go back to the grind. It also
doesn't have to be read in order.
If you want to know where to work, how to get a job, and how
to successfully have sex in the walk-in freezer - this book
needs to be in your apron. There are practical tips too, like
how to wash and press a uniform at work in about 20 minutes,
how to clean crusty burnt coffee pots, and how to survive
co-worker romances.
GetBookReviews.com Short, sweet, and
to the point, Matt Lehman's Book Clam Chowder gives us a
humorous and yet real look inside the lives of the wait staff
at restaurants around the nation. Although names change,
and situations vary, waiters have a sometimes difficult job
dealing with people, food, co-workers and themselves. This
book takes a light-hearted approach to this position and gives
tips, suggestions, and plain must-do's for those entering or
already in, the tiring job as a waiter or waitress. Clam
Chowder: The Server's Field Manual is not only for restaurant
staff, even customers will get a laugh and maybe even learn a
few tips themselves. A great learning lesson or a great
pick-me-up read. ****
