My Experience Working At A Restaurant
Restaurant

It is easy to just walk into a restaurant and sit down and eat. Working at a restaurant is not so easy. That is why I am writing this article on what I learned from being in a restaurant. Here are some tips you can learn when sitting down to eat.

First, remember that we as the employees want to make sure you are having a good time and want to come back. To do that we must always feel like matter and should be respected as well. Both we need to make sure we are on the same page so everyone is happy.

Timing is another tip to remember. Just remember that if a restaurant closes at 10 then it is best you do not come in at 9:30 when most people are trying to clean up. Even if it closes at 11, you should not come in at 10:30 and the people who are working there want to clean up and go home at a decent time and not stay there all night.

Not only time is the issue, but staying late. I see most nights, folks are done eating and the restaurant is closing, but they still sit there and chat on and on. As the employees, it is very stressful because we can not clean until you leave!

Next time you go to a restaurant think about the backwaters who have been there and day and show them respect as they want to please you.

Next time you go out to eat, remember to leave when you are down eating because we all want to clean up and go home and finish cleaning the floor and kitchen.

It is a stressful job, it is a fun job. Working at a restaurant only taught me to see both ends of the stick. One view as the customer and the other one as the employee. These are my tips and it is best you follow.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
