So last night sucked, but tonight /totally/ made up for it. And not just because of the tips I made (though that was certainly a factor). It was my first day dealing with really big tables (like ten, eleven people) and I didn't screw it up completely! I only had four tables but I went through all my checks and had to borrow another one. I kept busy for mostly the entire night and we managed to close the restaurant by just after 2200.
I learned a bit more about where everyone is fun and love the amount of diversity amongst the staff. It has been decided that I'm too skinny because I don't eat enough meat and the fact that I don't eat much seems to be of constant interest. Then later I was called muscular--much preferred. Not as true as I'd like it to be, but much preferred. I am frequently being challenged on the Rubik's Cube, but I only had the time to solve it once or twice at work today.
Regarding diversity, seems quite a few people assumed I wasn't American. No shocker. I get that all the time and considering that I'm not terribly fond of my own country and its ways I don't mind it at all. What else...oh! I got knocked back down the list. Not to the bottom, but like...three spots down or so. I'm totally fine with that because I shouldn't have been so close to the top to begin with! I'm new for crying out loud! Keep the more experienced servers ahead of me! Supposedly the owners do like me, though.
There also seemed to be kind of a queer motif at table 7 tonight. That amused me. So now I've been working for two weeks. I'm on my second timecard so I guess I'll get a paycheck next Friday. I made forty-three dollars in tips tonight--twice as much as last night. And I treated myself to ice cream after work! Now I'm lazing around and spending some quality time off my feet! I'm off tomorrow, so keep an eye out for me to review my most common mistakes from the past week! Good night, all!
