Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Trade Paperback in very good + condition. The covers show some wear, scuffing, this copy is tightly bound with a bright & unmarked interior. "If you have ever patronized a bar or been a bartender or waitress, you will connect with The Cocktail Waitress. In spite of this book's being the result of scholarly research, it is as readable as a novel. Spradley and his associates observe what occurs in a bar near a college, describing the culture established in the bar. Most readers can identify with at least one of the characters as the hierarchy of roles comes into play. The bartenders (male) are the ostensible dominant figures, and the cocktail waitresses have to act within the unwritten rules that the baartenders establish. I have spoken with several cocktail waitresses currently working at college bars near my college. They assure me that little has changed in the twenty-odd years since the study was completed and today. "; B&W Illustrations; 0.5 x 8.7 x 5.8 Inches; 154 pages. Seller Inventory # 8877
