Both of these essays were extremely informative. Nickle and Dime was an interesting read. I always have heard complaints against minimum wage but never was exactly told the difficulties of living on minimum wage. Ehrenreich does a great job in her essay explaining the lives of her fellow workers that were struggling to live on minimum wage. The story about the woman who had to live in her pick-up truck was very moving.
In the Cocktail Waitress essay you could see that companionship is created everywhere. When she first started, the waitress was very nervous and found herself in quite a few akward situations with customers. This was avoided once she understood the groups of customers that were in the bar she worked at.
