Written by thatsme on
I've been writing this blog for over 1 year and have finally come to realize something. Most of my readers are waiters. WTF! Where are all the banquet managers? Don't get me wrong, I sincerely appreciate all of you fellow road warrior waiters. Without all of you I wouldn't have a job.
