I’ve just spent more than the last hour reading posts on Waiter Rant.

Particularly good ones are here, here, here and here. But it’s all a good read.

Before I did my brief spell teaching, and before I got involved in politics, my holiday job was as a cashier in a supermarket. So I know the odd thing about members of the public getting power trips out of being pissy with hapless staff. It seems that forms a large part of poor Waiter’s working life.

But it’s charming to see how well he deals with it, and how uplifting it is to read about it. Plus he seems an all round good egg. And hundreds of readers agree with me, it seems, from the comments on his site.
