They might like the service or sometimes they might not and leaving the waiter with a small change or sometimes they leave the waiter with nothing. The costumers discuss business deals and family affairs; they discuss problems, delinquent children as well as courtships and marriages. A waiter can, if he so desires, become a very knowledgeable person simply by listening to these conversations. He also learns about the happenings in town and may become the best informed person regarding the scandals, next perhaps only to the barber.

The next day a fresh day and waiters can’t afford to begin their day lazily for it stretches into the night. Yet waiters are seen as being
