This first chapter is called "Dude wants his free meal." Pete goes to some town called "Branson." It is the dinner theater capital. He goes into town and gets job at Golden Corral, a chain buffet place. Then, he has a break 3-5, so he goes around town and is offered a new job. They talk trash about Golden Corral and conveice him to work at the new place, so he does. They promised him a free meal. On the first day, he got a meal. A couple of days later, he asked for his free meal. They said no, one for the whole time you work there. He feels betrayed and quits. Then, he leaves town.
Then, the book starts part three, and it's called "Quitting Time." The first chapter in this part is called "Just Wandering." Then, he gets a job in Idaho. He is living in his car. He calls a fan of his magazine in the area and asks if he wants to hang out. The 'fan' says no. He feels lame and remembers that he has many friends.
The next chapter is called "Cheap Houses, Cheap Dishman." In this chapter, Pete considers settling down. He looks around and finds a house. He bargins the price down to 25 grand. Then, he realizes he has NO money saved and doesn't apply for loan. He moves on.
These chapters were interesting. They were a really quick read! I'm enjoying the book so far. :)
