Title: You can learn about people you usually overlook
Review: Ever since I read this book I look at waiters, maids, clerks in stores and supermarkets with a totally different eye.We (the more or less affluent ones with good jobs) tend to take these people as granted and sometimes don't even treat them as human beings anymore, just as machines who have a useful function.I never was unpolite or tried to save on the tips, but because of Ehrenreich's book I make sure to treat the people that "serve" me with extra respect and give them very good tips.So I can say, that reading the book definetely made a difference in my life. My wish would be that many people get a chance to read it and in my opinion it should be required reading in our high schools.Update September 2011:Wouldn't you know, the Austin/TX school district added this book to required reading for high schools!Thanks to me (just kidding).
