Service

I've always said that everyone should work as a server or bartender at least once in their lifetime.

Why, because it makes you a better person. First of all, it's NOT that easy. You not only have to remember table numbers, menu items, specialty drinks and computer codes; you also have to mold your personality to the people you are serving in split second, and you have to do it over and over again for 8 to 12 hours at a time.
It's brutal, but it teaches you.
I've been a server a bartender and a hostess and it's taught me more about sales and customer service than 20+ years in corporate America.
You learn to be a lot more flexible. You learn that things sell out, favorite tables are not always available, reservations don't always mean that and you learn people can get really mean and crazy over, tiny insignificant sh*t.

Got to spend last night with some of my old comrades from Rosebud

Had a great time catching up and getting all the latest gossip. Restaurant stories are always the best, another bonus to working in the biz.

This was passed around and I just had to share. It's brilliant
