Tales from the Waitstaff
Waiters and waitresses are at the mercy of their customers' egos, whims and moods, but find hideous ways to avenge themselves. Joey Sweeney collects some of their horror stories in Philadelphia Weekly. Restaurant servers "by and large, live the lives that most of us wish we had the balls for. They're actors. They're painters. They're in bands. They're in love. And maybe the rest of us are just jealous of that," Sweeney writes. They give Sweeney the dish on their worst customers ever and how they struck back.
