I work with a lot of restaurants in the area – and as you’d expect, they like to show everything as perfect and possible – neat and tidy. Well that’s not how it is – many restaurants are chaos, a revolving door of transient staff, professional servers between jobs or about to back to school. I was a waiter once – and a bad one at that. Have to admit I didn’t care if the customer was happy or not, all I did was bring a plate from the kitchen – everything else was out of my control.

So these sketches are after the dinner – what was left.
Just a simple still life – that’s created every evening, in every restaurant, in every city.
A reminder of how much I hated being a waiter – with the exception of my shift meal.
