Waiting: A Moive for All Who Have Worked in a Chain Restaurant.
Despite the fact that "Waiting" was released a few years back, I finally got around to watching it. The moral of this movie stands strong: "Don't fuck with people who serve you food." SERIOUSLY!
The restaurant used in the movie was almost exactly like the Establishments that I worked at as for as layout and personalities found. I sadly regret not watching it sooner. Everything that happened in this movie is pretty much on par with how people act and the things that they do and wish they could do. The story does a moral of not staying in the restaurant business too long as you will end up there the rest of your life, most likely.
It was great to see and have the attitudes of employees represented to a pretty much what really happens in a restaurant during a shift. You have:
a) Talking about customers (both good and bad)
b) So much discussion about tipping right and what you made
c) The bitterness of working there and how much you just want the shift to end
d) The flirting with customers
e) Game(s) played on shifts among employees
f) The partying after a shift, only to pass out and wake up and do it again
*I will not comment whether or not things actually happen to the food servedI could relate to it so well as it was a replay of that job I had years ago. It's actors really did a great job showing exactly the type of people you will encounter, both employees and customers alike. I can say that sadly I had some managers like Dan.
I guess I would recommend that everyone should watch this movie so you will have a good understanding what it is like to work in the food industry if you have never worked in it; and if you have, you will just laugh your ass off.
Cheers and happy Waiting.....
