Waiting Tables is a slice-of-life doc from 1986 that dives into the world of those often overlooked—servers in the bustling restaurant scene. The tone is raw and intimate, with interviews that feel less scripted and more like a conversation over coffee. You get this real sense of the struggles and joys of 'pink collar' work, especially through the heartfelt anecdotes shared by the interviewees. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to absorb the stories without rushing. There's no flashy production; it's all about genuine human experience. It’s interesting how it captures the essence of a time when the service industry was just starting to get the recognition it deserves, giving a voice to the everyday worker without the usual glamour.
