Summary

In the irreverent spirit of A.J. Jacobs and Michael Moore, "Keep the Change "by Steve Dublanica is a pavement-pounding exploration of tipping, a huge but neglected part of the American economy--the hilarious and eye-opening follow-up to his smash-hit "New York Times "bestseller "Waiter Rant." Subtitled "A Clueless Tipper's Quest to Become the Guru of the Gratuity," "Keep the Change "follows the popular blogger known as "the Waiter" from restaurant to casino to strip club and beyond as he explores what to tip and how tipping truly plays out in practice in a series of candid, funny, and sometimes uproariously cringe-inducing adventures.

Author Biography

Steve Dublanica is the bestselling author of Waiter Rant, which spent twelve weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. He lives in the New York metropolitan area with his joint-custody dog, Buster.
