Rockswell's got the audacity to tell Black folks that, not only are they not tipping properly when they dine out, they are also exhibiting completely unacceptable behavior in restaurants.
With courage and literary finesse, Rockswell examines how the institutions of slavery and sharecropping helped to create today's restaurant tipping system and how all this is connected to the controversial tipping habits of American Blacks.
Weaving her reader through hilariously true tales of uninformed diners and famous celebrities with abusive behavior, Rockswell gracefully intersects fair wage, racial discrimination and sexual harassment with laughter, hope and promise.
BLACK FOLKS DON'T TIP is a delightful treat from beginning to end--enlightening, educational and entertaining.
