I Work(ed) in a Restaurant, and Now I Understand...

[Smile_Awhile]

I'm lucky that , despite two summers of working food service, I have no horror stories. However, I'm aspiring to be an actress, and my family is convinced I'll be waiting tables at some point, so...

My one story relates more to my screwup than anything else. I was walking out a tray of food to a customer at a deli I worked out, where you ordered at the counter and we delivered the food to you. I had completely forgotten that someone had just mopped the bathrooms and the hallway leading towards the bathrooms, and I was walking fast. Of course, this tray had two sandwiches and two bread bowls full of soup on it.

As I stepped out onto the floor that had been mopped, my feet flew out from under me, and the tray went flying. Potato soup went EVERYWHERE, and ended up all over me and my hair and everything. It was miserable- but we all got a fabulous laugh out of it.
