So I've just finished my first shift of work.
Cashiering in a restaurant is not as easy as I thought it would be.
Got placed in the Champagne & Seafood restaurant at the Hampton Court Flower show. Quite a trek to get there as it's about an hour and a bit door to door as Hampton Court is all the way out in zone 6. Didn't really know what to expect from this first job so was a tad nervous at the beginning.
But I do have to say that it was a great week. Really tiring from all the standing up and the occasional moments of stress when too many people want to pay the bill at the same time and there is only so much you can do at a time. Also that the system crashes every day at the same time which is bad cause it's usually when some people want their bills so you have to make them wait.
Other than cashiering did a ton of polishing as well. It's like whenever there is free time, it's spent polishing glasses. A never ending stream of glasses and cutlery that need polishing.
Really glad that the tips got split between all the staff. I know that most people tip cause they got good service from the waiter/waitress, so it may seem unfair that they have to split their tips. However, if the runners serve slowly or the relay team don't set up a table in time or the cashiers get the orders wrong, would the service still be the same? So while yes the waiter/waitress plays an important part, but there are many others behind the scenes who help make the service better.
Had a lovely bunch of people to work with. Some of them who have been with offtowork(the agency we all work for) for a year have said that this was one of the best weeks they've had working. The managers were all really nice giving us bacon rolls in the morning for breakfast and sweets throughout the day for a sugar boost.
Honestly could not have asked for a better start to all the part time work I'm doing.
