"Serving In Florida" by Barbara Ehrenreich

After reading "Serving in Florida", I understand better how rough life was in Florida during this time period. If you didn't have a job with a well paying salary, it was a struggle for you to make ends meet. I also noticed,while reading, that not only is Barbara working for less than minimum wage, but also the environment she works in is disgusting. She begins the narrative by explaining how horrible the kitchen and restaurant are. she also explains how the customers treat the areas the use, leaving food, spills, cigarette buds, etc. All of this adds to the financial struggle she faces due to her low wages. According to Barbara, customers also contribute to he stress at her workplace. In the narrative she describes them as the "enemies".
