Reflection # 8




Today is Wednesday which is internship day. Today I worked in the front again. A business isn’t only run by one position so I wanted to get the whole experience and find out things I didn’t know before. When I came in at 4:00 PM, I hung up my jacket and then went straight to the front. From there I picked out the pretty part of the Mint leaves and out them into a container for the desserts. After that I headed downstairs and grabbed two piles of napkins, both burgundy and tan.


Like last week, I did tables again. First you have to clear away all of the dishes and napkins and then take off the paper that it has on top of it. Then you are supposed to go to the roll of paper and rip two pieces each about the size of a table. From there one gets four small plates, dried off, and it gets placed two on each table diagonal from each other. A fork goes on the left side of each small plate and then a napkin sitting up gets placed next to the fork which a wine glass in the middle of it. On the other side of the napkin and glass goes a knife and a small spoon. Once all of those things are placed, the table is basically done. Throughout the whole day I was clearing off tables of plates, utensils, glass cups, and napkins. Then I would reset it exactly how I just explained it. Aside from doing tables, I also cut bread, made bread baskets, and poured water into glasses whenever new people were seated.

Overall, I liked working up front a whole lot better than in the back mainly because it was very less stressful. Even when it gets busy up front, it never even compares to how busy it gets in the back. Oh, and I made about $15 bucks because the two waitresses gave me some of their tips which I was extremely shocked about. I didn’t see that coming. So I would say today was a pretty awesome day, better than I expected.
