are all jobs like this?
this is going to be a really long entry, bear with me please. . . . . . .
today was my first day working at chef wang's and it might be the last. when i got there, JR introduced me to Rachel (very nice, and pretty) she got me a shirt(red chinese pattern) and helped me zip it up. then she showed me around for a while. then JR had me fill out an employee information form (aka-application) when i finished, he let me go to the front and the other girls helped to train me. pretty soon i was taking people to their tables. piece of cake, pretty much. i saw sam a few times and we smiled at each other. the girls (rachel, Maddy, and emily) and i talked about guys for a little bit, i pointed out my bf, rachel said that she had a 20 yr old bf(she's 16, in fact, they all are, all in high school) then i said that i was thirsty, so rachel took me to the drinks and while we were drinking them JR was like "uh, you can't do that"
"what? i thought we could"-rachel
"no, you have to go to the back"-jr
"oh, i didn't know that"-rachel
"good job, you got her in trouble on her first day"-jr
"huh? i'm not in trouble. . . right?"-me, smiling
"yup, i'm going to write you up"-jr, smiling
then we went back to working. i got the hang of it fairly well. then while i was getting a booster seat, this girl who was a waitress came up to me and said "hey, i have a friend that just told me that he thinks you're hot. . .he was like 'wow, look at that new hostess. . .' so i thought i'd come and tell you"
"aww, i have a bf. . . he actually works here. . . sam?"
"oh, ok, well i just wanted to tell you. he says you're beautful"
"aww! thanks so much!"
cute huh? anyway, back to the story. so then we (me and the girls) were up at the front and jr walked up. rachel leaned over to me and whispered "do you smoke pot?"
m-"no"
r-"oh, i was just wondering if your pupils get dialated if you have contacts when you smoke pot"
m-"i don't know"
r-"you've never done it before?"
m-"nope"
r-"aww, what a good girl, i'm proud of you" ---i thought "how can you be proud of me when you don't even know me?---
then rachel turned to the group who were all wondering what she whispered, so she said "do your pupils still get dialed if you contacts when you smoke pot?"
maddy-"yes, and they get really dried out too"
jr was standing right there and he goes "that's a nice topic for you girls to be talking about" that's all he said. not "hey girls, that's innappropriate for work"
that's not too big of a deal, right? well, get this--
jr sent two of the girls home b/c we weren't all that busy. (maddy and rachel) i went to sit some people and when i came back i heard jr and emily talking.
jr-"size D? really?"
e-"yea, but you can't really tell"
jr-"come on, yea you can" (she clearly did not have D size boobies, but that's not the point)
there were other parts to the convo that made me come to my conclusion that they were talking about her boobies. i just can't remember the rest. i was so shocked that the convo. was even happening. she's 16 for goodness sakes!! he's at least mid-20's if not more towards 30. but it doesn't even matter how old either of them are. that's completely and totally unprofessional. sam walked me out and i said 'he asked her what size bra she wears"
his response was "he's really good friends with some of the girls"
"whatever, it doesn't matter, that's unprofessional, i'll talk to you when you get off"
is it just me, or did JR seem to do things that were inappropriate for a manager of a restaurant to do? tell me if i'm wrong, please. i don't really feel comfortable around him. should i? please give me feedback.
i'm so disapointed in this whole first job thing. tonight sucked. not because the job isn't good. it's fine. just the people there. and i only get paid $6 an hour. plus i had to work with three 16 year old girls. i don't know if i'm going to stay there.
