the shrewdness of apes

courtesy of Gothamist comes a link to something that just about everyone can appreciate: Manhattan Waiter, a blog about waiting tables featuring interviews with waiters from all over NYC. just reading a couple of entries brought back my own memories of what it's like to serve for a living, and i know there's lots of you out there in the same boat. all i can say briefly is that it's fun but not fun - some days you're walking out with a wad of cash and other days you're spilling a Diet Coke down the back of some poor unsuspecting wonk's lightly starched oxford.
