Would You Like Some Salad with Your Ranch? Kelsey Pierchoski

Starting with the author's background in the restaurant industry, Would You Like Some Salad with Your Ranch? takes a sassy, blunt, sarcastic look at the four main groups of people that servers interact with: customers, coworkers, kitchen workers, and managers. Each group is broken into common situations and character types that almost every server has encountered, revealing that servers do much more than bring out food. They test their patience on People with a Special Diet and their memorization skills on Big Parties. They ward off The Sexual Creepers and play nice with The Insufferably Bitchy Bartender. Along the way, servers learn useful life skills, such as how to reign in The Regulars, how to cope with The Crazy Prep Cook, and how not to be That Couple with the Baby. Aiming to give servers and other industry workers a laugh in an often demoralizing and thankless field, Would you Like Some Salad with your Ranch? is the perfect summary of the trials of restaurant life.
