Well... I think tonight was a good learning experience... It was well rounded. I think it was really good for me.
   
    Since we haven't really opened yet and everyone is stil training tonight they invited some people in and gave them free food.

I think I got a well rounded experience.

    I got stiffed by people who said I was the best waitress they had had in a really long time and told me taht I was great... they gave me a whopping $1 for all three of them and they ordered appatizers, entrees, desserts, and two of them had four refills. It's cool though, I would have treated them the same way I did even if I knew how they would tip.

    I had one college age girl who was really sweet and emptied out her pockets for tip.

    I had one really great couple who were just generally pleasant who gave me a considerably large tip even though the kitchen took awhile for thier food.

    And then I got one table that tipped in the middle.

So it was  a lot of fun. I learned a lot... Though I did mess up, I forgot to ask about smoked or grilled chicken on one of the salads.... Like I said though it was a learning thing. And for the most part the people I worked with were really awesome as well :-)

I think it'll be good. You all will have to come see me once we open for real :-)
