"Donkey Show" author, Michael P. Welch shouts out about the Scam Bible-

"BURN, BOURBON! BURN!"

"In an attempt to get back at all the restaurant managers who ever bullied me (so, so fucking many...) I would like to give a shout-out to the locally produced book How to Burn Down the House: The Infamous Waiter & Bartender's Scam Bible by Peter Francis and R.Chip DeGlinkta, known on the cover of the book simply as Two Bourbon Street Waiters. This little tome, which fits snugly in the inside pocket of your headwaiter's tuxedo, is basically just a manual on how to rip-off the restaurant you work for, with minimal sarcastic editorial. Not surprisingly, publishers Promethean Books have had a little trouble getting their product on local shelves. "We decided not to carry it in the store," defends Maple Street Books' manager Carol Antosiak, who claims she will gladly procure the book for anyone who orders it. "But that's one of the benefits of an independent bookstore," Antosiak explains. "We're not told by someone in New York what we have to carry. If we don't like something, we don't have to carry it. I personally just don't believe in stealing."
Stealing like, say, charging $6.50 for a Coors Light? She's obviously never worked for the Brennans..."
