My day as a busser at a very fancy restaurant
I started my new job as a caterer. I was called to a very fancy hotel with a very fancy bar / pub.
Working in a restaurant is insane. I was there to set up at 3 and didnt get to sit down until around 10 pm when the staff got to eat. I got people drinks and talked to people and flat out admitted i hadn't a single idea what i was doing.
At a certain point, I became so hungry that i would grab hunks of untouched food as i brought them out back to the kitchen full of the most wonderful (albeit definitely illegal) cooks. The smells emanating made me want to die and go to heaven.
There was one lady who was convinced that our water contained a mind altering drug. There was another woman who ordered a 50 dollar steak and ate nothing. There was also a man for whom the E Chef made a hamburger made out of bear meat.
It was a crazy night but i was never once bored and have to confess i love this job... until something goes wrong.
