4 out of 5 stars
This is a quick little read with nicely drawn characters and atmosphere. It takes place over one shift of a soon-to-close Red Lobster during a blizzard. You can feel the sticky tables and picture the worn carpet and tired nautical/holiday decorations as the crew navigates that special brand of micro-soap opera drama that only occurs in the workplace. Besides the human element, there's a great attention to detail in terms of what goes on behind the scenes and all the chain restaurant minutia that Manny, the oddly dedicated manager/hero, deals with on a daily basis, which I also enjoyed quite a lot.
