Here is a menu

Here is a menu that can be found at almost any kind of restaurant. With appetizers and soups so you can get a feel for something new.

See The Light

Sunday can be one of the best or worst days at my job. Around 1:30 p.m. the morning shift gets really excited. Because Mary Alice comes in. She's this really interesting and sweet lady. When her and her husband, Kevin come in, the floor gets cut, and we all get to get ready to go home. She is known as "The Light." Because she is like the light at the end of the tunnel.

Why I Hate My Job

So, I usually enjoy hosting. Not this week. This week, I was supposed to be a waitress. And I needed the money, trust me. But instead of putting two people on to host, my bosses put me on to host. While I should have been a waitress. Let me tell you how angry and frustrating that was. First of all, I do not like having to ask anyone for money. I should be able to fend for myself. Secondly, I have a huge hospital bill to pay off and it would have been convenient if my bosses could make a schedule right. That being said, I'm really burnt out on hosting.

The Day Christmas Almost Came Early

This past week, our one useless hostess was told we would call her if we needed her to come in. Basically, don't come into this establishment anymore. Let me tell you how happy we were to hear this. But what did this girl do to finally push us over the edge? Nothing. It was what she did to customers. We have one top tables, or we have tables where we just seat one person. And this girl was asking these customers why they were such loners. Really? You are going to ask a customer that? Let's rewind. First of all, that's an offensive question to ask someone. Secondly, it is none of our business how customers personal lives are. So if you do become a host, or hostess, please use some common sense.

Here are some restaurants in Topeka that have host and hostesses.

Reasons Why Thanksgiving Isn't Very Giving

Thanksgiving, I had to work. And we were supposed to be supposed to be busy! I work in the mornings now, and only. And let me tell you how busy we were not. People weren't coming in because they were preparing dinners for their families, which is understandable. But the people who were coming in were not tipping any of us any money. And I cannot express to you how important it is to tip your server. On top of that, our hostess wasn't doing her job. And our boss was being very angry with us the whole day. Oh yeah, and I had to be to work at two o'clock the morning of Black Friday. Needless to say, my Thanksgiving wasn't very awesome.

The Weekend I Rocked It Out

This past Thursday, I injured my hand just bad enough I needed stitches. I brought a doctor's note in excusing myself from work. And my boss needed me to come in anyway. With a hand healing from stitches, I was being a hostess. I wrote names down using my left hand, and I was able to seat customers without the use of my right hand. I even picked up a high chair with my right arm and positioned the chair using my feet. What was going through my mind when I did this? Obviously, my bosses needed someone who knows how to do their job. So yes, this was the week I proved myself to my job and my bosses.

And Then I Proved Myself

This past Sunday, two ladies didn't show up to work. So I went from hostessing to waiting tables, I received my first table after 9, so I didn't make as much money. But everyone appreciated my hard work. And for the first time in three months, I stayed at the restaurant until 6:00 p.m. I guess it's true, that I'm a valued member of my job.
