Since September 2011 I have worked for three restaurants and I can tell you that I've seen things that make you wonder why. Why weak people are placed in management positions. Why proper hiring and training techniques aren't implemented. Why food quality diminishes in many new concepts after initial openings.
Bartending is a blast, but oddly enough I think I may be in love with the restaurant business. I serve and bartend right now and have expressed interest in becoming a more permanent part of this restaurant team. The previous two restaurants were not what I had in mind for future achievements.
I watch some pretty incredible kids work their way through school. Make plans for their futures and I really hope they are successful in whatever they want to do. Having no kids of my own I get to watch good kids have fun and work hard and learn to be themselves.
I am learning so much more about life.
