Hostess

I haven’t written in awhile so I thought because I am in such a great mood I would write a blog post.
I’ve had three jobs over the past year. I am currently at my third job Famous Dave’s. I have loved it so much. I’m super happy about working there. I love all the people I work with it, and it’s amazing how the whole restaurant operates. It is really extraordinary. If there was ever a TV show about the behind the scenes at a restaurant, it would be a good one. It would have to include employee drama and how they truly feel about customers.
Somehow people who go to restaurants sometimes forget that we are people too. Just because we are serving you and you’re paying us to do so doesn’t give you the right to treat us like garbage. It gets pretty ridiculous when people believe otherwise. But we have some wonderful customers too. They make the job more enjoyable. When there are babies! Need I say more?  
The other workers are so much fun. They are all unique. They do their jobs and they do it well because if they didn’t, the restaurant’s function would crumble. Everyone’s role is important. All my managers are amazing. I swear going to work is like my second home. I really enjoy it. I like being a Hostess.
We are training new people. I feel special being able to impress them by how well I can balance everything and bring it to the back. I really have grown in being strategic about it. I jokingly told a waitress one day that I wish I had octopus arms so I could carry more things. In a way by using my brain, I have gained more appendages. Fewer trips to the back equals a faster time for that table to be clean and ready for another hungry customer. Really I have found way too many ways to entertain myself by just cleaning tables alone. It’s either a race against time or how many things I can juggle. I love it a lot.

So that’s a little update on my work life. I hope you enjoyed! I’m in a really good mood for no reason, and I’m okay with that.
