Reviews"The entire booklet is enthralling, perhaps especially so if you don't already know what goes on behind the scenes for underpaid, non-unionized restaurant workers in the United States." --Brittany Shoot, Change.org "In this persuasive chapbook, author Prole.info utilizes words and illustrations to tell two intriguing parallel stories: first, what the food service industry entails for those who work in the restaurants themselves, and then, the political and social implications of eating establishments on local economies and working people." --Ernesto Aguilar, dotrad.com "Class analysis + a critique of daily life + uncensored innovative graphics + more . . . Enjoy!" --Gilles Dauvé
