Slog - Comments on Did You Stiff This Man Out of a Tip? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/did_you_stiff_this_man_out_of_a_tip The New York Post has unmasked "The Waiter," the anonymous blogger behind Waiter Rant, wherein he wrote about waiting tables at a fancy restaurant. His book, also called Waiter Rant, is out today, and he's guest-blogging over at Powell's. His name is Steve Dublanica, and he looks about what you'd figure, although I was half-expecting a tall, thin man with a ponytail and goatee.

He went to seminary & did some sort of mental health work, so I'm pretty sure he's got a wider ranger of experiences to draw on than just reciting specials.

This whole "You've read the blog... NOW READ THE BOOK!" trend had got to stop.

I'm working on MY book, tentatively entitled "I Commented On Slog, and This Is My Story", and you're fucking up my chances with your cynicism!
