If there is one thing my dad has taught me, it's to never stay at a job that does not appreciate you.
I just gave my two week notice to the restaurant I have made many friends and memories at that I can never forget. It is completely bittersweet to be leaving, but I am all set with not being appreciated. I know that I am a good server and a good bartender, and not being given the opportunity to be behind the bar after having asking numerous times, I decided to set out and get a different job. The choice was hard for me because I did make so many wonderful friends in that workplace. However the point of a job is to make money, and that is what I have to keep reminding myself. If I don't stand up for myself... then who will?
On the plus side, the place I am going to doesn't make you roll silverware... anyone who works in a restaurant can relate to that bit of relief.
