It's Showtime: On the Workplace Geographies of Display in a Restaurant in Southeast England

Crang, Philip·1994·Environment and Planning D: Society and Space

Abstract

The geographies of one particular restaurant workplace in the southeast of England are considered. It is argued that such workplace geographies—broadly of surveillance, display, and location—help to constitute the character of an employment. Here, this is demonstrated through an examination of the performative geographies of display in waiting work in Smoky Joe's restaurant. This examination is then used in two ways: both to draw out some implications of the interpersonal nature of this particular job; and to establish some broader analytical dimensions—sociospatial relations of consumption—to aid the understanding of how and why other jobs may be similar or different.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
