Nickel and Dimed vs. The Cocktail Waitress

I also liked both of these essays. I like how in the essay Nickel and Dimed, she puts herself in the position as the low-wage worker rather than trying to explain it without living it. It shows how hard it is to live like that and what your life would actually be like if that was how you had to live. I liked The Cocktail Waitress because I've been working as a waitress for three years now at the same restaurant so I could relate to what the story was about. I like how they talk about ways to talk and get to know the customers, and gaining better tips along the way.
