First blog, first post

I'm a little late to come on to the blogging scene, but better late than never? I wanted to share with everyone all the joy that is the food service industry. Many people out there have specific ideas on who the people serving them are. Let me tell you from experience on all sides of the restaurant business that the people waiting on you are college students, single mothers, family men and women, singles, grandmas and grandpas (yep!), gay, straight, and all of the above. I believe it to be a common misconception that this is a job for A) someone who is putting themselves through school, or B) someone who is not qualified for a better job. Having been in many different positions in the restaraunt, from ownership to bartending, I can tell you otherwise. This is a job that 1 out of 3 hires cannot handle. Back breaking work, long hours, and of course, enduring the many humilities the public puts us through makes this one of the hardest jobs out there! Although my goal is to make this a funny and lighthearted blog about accomodating the public, there will be, without fail, many times a horror story pops up. Please feel free to share your storries and even your experience from the public's stance.
