I want this to get some attention:

a NY Times article about a food critic working as a server...
I found this at the WaiterRant blog... which I also want to point out again.

If you've ever wondered how to behave, how to tip, or how to treat your fellow humans bringing your food and drinks, please check these out.
The added benefit is that The Waiter is very funny. If nothing else, you can get a good laugh.
