The other day while working on random school projects I watched the movie waiting. For those of you who have never seen it, the movie stars Ryan Reynolds( National Lampoon Van Wilder, Just Friends) as a waiter at a restaurant called Shenanigan'Z. The premise of the movie is people come into the restaurant and are very rude to the waiters. So in response the waiter, chefs, and bus boys mess with their food. Things are dropped on the floor, sneezed in, spit on, and stuffed down pants. When I saw this i thought it was disgusting and could never happen in real life. After the movie though I commentary from the real waiters the movie was based upon. They said every disgusting act in the movie they have seen for themselves in real life. I myself work in the food industry, but because all customers can see their icecream as it is made we have to be very careful not to contaminate it. Though I have been tempted to mess with some people's food.
The most important thing to take from this movie is that waiters/waitresses are people too. Though they may not get paid as much as other jobs they are not our slaves and as such they deserve some courtesy and respect.
