my work

The place where i work....


i work as a server's assistant in old faithful inn's dining room.. my work is to 'water' the customers that is seated, remove the extra placings on their table... then try to clear the plates when they finish their food... adding more water as they finish their drink.. when they finish all their food and leave..i m supposed to clear all the leftovers into the kitchen and set the table for the next customer.





sounds easy?





nah. it is definitely not.





it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tiring... and my legs hurt like hell.. :S


for the first few days i started work.. my feet hurt so much that i couldn't even walk properly.. but i m improving day by day... although i still have a big blister on mi feet now.. making me walk like a cripple... hahaha


we also had to balance a big oval tray with all the left over glassware above our shoulder.. it takes a lot of muscle strength to do it... hahaha.. maeb i'll get big biceps by the time i go back :p

money wise....





my hourly wage is USD4.7.. which is actually low.. but it is supplemented by the tips we recieve from the sever who is tipped by the customer.


In US, it is customary to tip 15% of the total bill for the server.. hence dinner shifts are very lucrative.. the most i had in a night (4:30pm to 11:30pm) was around USD70-80 in tips alone.. wooo.. sounds good? ahahha.. but we have to work breakfasts and lunch shifts which are not lucrative at all.... in fact.. i remember getting 3-4 bucks for a whole day of work from 6:15am to 3:30pm... :S
