I have learned many things while I am working. I learn a lot about people in general. People are very interesting and with each person coming in to my work I have a different experience with the situation. I am a hostess at Der Dutchman and I pretty much have the same routine, I greet whoever comes in the door and I take them to a table! It's just a blast! I definitely enjoy the people who talk to me about something other than the table. One of the most simple but also most important things I have learned from working is to always smile! Even if the day absolutely sucks, the act of smiling, turning that frown upside down, also turns your mood around!

that is completely true. when i feel like crap, i try to make other people feel good and it makes me a happier person and smiling always helps. i work at tim hortins and it sucks, but i try to make my day better by smiling and joking around.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as far as mangers wanting people to stay busy.
ReplyDeleteI have had the same experience you have with managers not doing everything and sitting down. My manger even gets on the computer and looks at facebook all the time. I also liked your smile idea, I always try to make my customers happy as I walk out of the door!
ReplyDeleteMy manager is exactly the same way. I feel like I can't stop moving ever or she'll make me do something horrible.
ReplyDeleteKevin, joking around at work always helps the time pass by fast!
ReplyDeleteJD, managers definitely want you to always be busy!
Kelsie, that's ridiculous that your manager gets on facebook that would make me so mad. That's awesome too about trying to make your customers happy!

Cassia, I feel like they are always on the look out to make people do stuff the managers don't want to do themselves!
ReplyDeleteI feel like we have something in common in terms of managers wanting their workers to stay busy all the time.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
