Excerpt from The Up-to-Date WaitressThis book is intended as a guide to what may be called good, perhaps ideal, service for waitresses under all circumstances, and not as a set of hard and fast rules from which there is no appeal. The manner in which we advocate that the duties of a waitress should be carried out has been evolved from a study and comparison of the methods of many housekeepers, there may be shorter and apparently more desirable ways of doing certain of the things referred to, but in the end the shortest ways are not always the most satisfactory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
