I wouldn't go that far. Maybe it's just not for you. It's not for everyone and different people thrive in different environments.LenaClaire wrote: »I worked in catering for 3 months and I hated it with a passion, I was no good at it at all. That does not mean I was not capable at anything, just that I was a horrific waiter.
I am good at lots of other things, I just had to find them, hang in there
Thanks guys was having a couple bad days. I've never worked in a café before so the hectic environment was kind of getting to me. Had today off so hopefully tomorrow will be better. The manager is nice enough but can be a bit cutting and is fairly blunt when I make mistakes which is fair enough though I will admit I came close to getting upset on two occasions recently. This kind of work is all a bit knew to meXxMCRxBabyxX wrote: »I'm the same. I'm an awful waitress and will refuse to do it when asked by work but I know that I'm great at the retail side of my job and (as sad as it may sound) will jump to do that side of it. We all have our strengths and weaknesses in work so it's just about trying to work out what they are and getting yourself into the right area, even when it's only a small job. Employers don't help sometimes too. I was once accused of lying about my experience when they just threw me in the deep end because they didn't listen when I explained what I had done in my previous job.
I really don't want to be fired. I heard from another girl who worked their previously that she found it hard going and that the manager made her upset a couple times as well. 0 -
Waitressing can be really hard work, especially if you work somewhere busy and/or understaffed. I didn't mind bar work but hated doing food orders.
Can I join in the Stansted hate please - absolute hole of an airport, and I'm really bored. On the plus side, voting tomorrow!
Best of luck with the wedding RK 0 -

Thanks guys, I just need to get more confident in myself and stop putting myself down. My mum says I'm desperate for that and she's right and it reflects negatively on how I view myself and how I carry out my job. Hopefully it'll get better!:) I still fail big time at trying to carry two coffee cups or lattes on saucers down to tables though haha! I can only take one at a timeIlyana 2.0 wrote: »Waitressing is tough until you know what you're at, but eventually it becomes really formulaic - drop menus, take order, give cutlery and drinks, clear plates, rinse and repeat. Once all that becomes second nature, the other bits will come more easily. After a while the stress of a busy shift will glide off like water off a duck's back. You find yourself engaging more with customers and hopefully making more tips! 0 -

The trick is not to look at them if you can help it
Oh, and buy decent quality shoes. I learned that one the hard way, and my feet are fecked at the age of 23

Incredibly emotional over the referendum. My very best friend in the world is a gay man, and he described today as the most affirming day of his life. With a bit of luck tomorrow will take the place of today in that respect.
I guess I have a fairly interesting perspective on it, as I identify as bisexual but most people assume I'm straight unless or until I say otherwise. So the result might even end up affecting me directly. What a day. 0 -
