I am not sure how it happened. For 8 years I have worked for my current job. At first we all rotated sections, there were 3 servers during the day and it changed daily where you were...Back then (listen to me, like I'm old) the back section was smoking only. A few of the people we had back there, were snooty. The "card players" especially. They were just always giving all the servers a hard time and eventually, no one would wait on them but me. So then it turned out I was always in the back, becuase well, those were all "My people".
Lately business has been down, and there is no longer a smoking section in restaurants in Arkansas. Generally people fill up in the front first, so when your not busy, and your in the back, you don't get seated much. I had asked for sections to rotate. What I felt was fair, also because my section, the back is bigger... and gets the large groups. Rotating seemed fair, but everyone walked on eggshells with the other girl so we couldn't change the routine she was used to.
Well me and the new girl and the boss talked about rotating and all agreed rotation was the only fair way to do things. Yesterday was the new girls first day, so I put her in the smaller, front section. Today she called to me that I had a table and I went to the back to find it. "What are you doing silly, your in front today?!" I almost cried!? FRONT? MEEEEE? IN FRONT???? That's right. I waited tables in the front section. It was crazy. I almost forgot the table numbers!
All is pretty good with the new girl, and the new new girl seems to be catching on quickly too. Both of them are helpful with each other, with me, working together. Its awesome, if I am busy and cannot get my food out, someone runs it. Drinks are filled for whoever, does not matter if its MY tables drink or not. Its empty, fill it up! :)
Home has been alright. Tim is now working at both Churches and Monte ne inn. Were hoping to save back the churches check for a flat screen and a zoo trip this summer. How exciting. Saving money? Really? We'll see if that works out. It sure would be nice, to have a bit extra to save. At the same time, it means the kids are left to their own devices again this summer vacation, which is not always super great. My house, my poor house will be thrashed I am sure. Either way you win some you lose some. You can't have it all. I figure we'll make the most of Tims Monday off, and make his other day a week day so he can take the kids to do stuff that day as well. Hopefully the zoo trip will wear them out enough for the whole summer. Doubt it but its worth a shot.
I cannot wait to take pictures at the zoo and aquarium!!! :)
