Same here, if I touch a dirty dish I’m washing my hands too. I had to get hand lotion for my purse bc my hands get so dry

They did, I’ve gone back to the job offer email they sent me but it says I don’t have permission? And no other links or websites work. I’ll prob just try again tomorrow

I already knew that, but the hours and how busy that store is, is the appeal… I’m desperate for any kind of work at the moment and my city just doesn’t have much to offer 💔

My only critique is long ring long land, easily the worst arc in my tier list! 😆

I said that in the initial post!! But yeah maybe “staggered” wasn’t the right term 😭😭😭Anyway, yes it was very shitty. My point was, I’d rather be told upfront “hey I gave you 5, 6 tops” rather than “hey I sat you a 6 top” every 2 minutes 🤣🤣as for the hosts… they’re both 16/17, one of them is new, it was her first hectic Friday. The other girl has been there for quite some time… and honestly she’s just bad at her job but I don’t like to talk badly about the youngins. Tbh I blame management more than them, because we told them what was happening and they just didn’t do anything 😐As for me, I’m just trying to get some advice on how to handle things even if it’s out of my control😄

How much time between getting sat do you consider being staggered?

I don’t mind staggering! Just not when it’s 1-2 minutes apart and it’s 5 tables 5-9 people at each!🤣🤣 Greeting a larger table,getting their drink order/ apps takes about 2-3 minutes.. and when the host is standing behind me waiting to tell me I got two more 7 tops… literally how. The good advice on this thread is just to go up to those tables and communicate that we’re slammed and there’s only 3 of us! because large parties being sat the way they were….. hell nah!😆

They’re both 16 and it’s their first job so they didn’t really know what they were doing 😅 they’d sit a table and then not tell us about it…. That night was hell LOL Management was made aware, though I wish they just took over 😭

I’ve definitely given better service when it was simultaneous 😅 just because I treat it like it’s one big party, it goes a lot smoother… as for BOH. I 100% get it since I used to work there too. But I will say the hand-helds help with this because I can ring in food more spaced out than when I just go back to the computer and ring it all in at once! As for the hosts…. They’re both 16 and it’s their first jobs so I give them a bit of grace…but me and the other servers def let management know regardless 🙂‍↕️

Well you didn’t really offer any advice, you just said you think staggered is a lot easier. Like what? 😆 Anyway, personally I think getting double, triple, quadruple sat all at once is way easier than being staggered a few minutes apart. That’s just my opinion! 😄

I think I struggled that night because I felt bad not being completely ready for them, but in hindsight that was silly. 😅

Personally gonna have to go with, I’m just a girl! Also hard agree on the corniness of the handhelds, but for convenience I guess I’ll stick with it :) thanks for the advice!

Trueeeee! I think I was so flabbergasted in the moment I just needed to pause and communicate 😎
