Episode 312:  Lunch With Mr. Boyd

We're slinging hash today with a waitress war story from Barb Stakes.  Lunch With Mr. Boyd is a familiar story for those of us who have served time in the restaurant business, and a cautionary tale for those who haven't yet.

 

Author:

Barbara Stakes:  Barbara spent a 30-plus year career in the offices of area Research and Development companies in Langhorne, PA and Princeton, NJ.  In her retirement, she enjoys yoga, meditation, reading, walks in the parks and working to get down on paper stories about people, places and experiences remembered over the years with a hope that others might enjoy them.
