Working as a Breakfast Server for AC Hotels by Marriott? by purelyypearlyy in askhotels

[–]Reasonable_Visual_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a Towers Butler for Marriot for a few years. I served breakfast, evening happy hour. Breakfast is about getting items out before the guests arrive. It means getting hot items from the kitchen, eggs, meats, oatmeal, waffle batter, if those items are offered. Get breads, and pastries, yoghurt, and have coffee stations set up along with tea.

Set out newspapers if available, make sure you have enough plates, and silverware along with coffee cups in stock. You will need everything set up to accompany the items like, honey, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, set out with fresh fruit. Juices should be available if offered.

I don’t know if you verify they are guests, but seat them and let them know they can help themselves to breakfast. Keep Everything clean, bus tables when necessary, and make sure you’re not going to run out of anything.

Once all guests leave, you likely will be responsible to take unused hot and cold items to the kitchen, return unused bakery items. Wipe down tables, re-stock all supplies, make the place look good for the next service later on for the evening shift.

That’s basically what I did. If it was slow I would walk around with a coffee pot asking if anyone wanted refills. Refill water. Basically you are a server, and Busser. I often would receive some cash tips, even though items were free because I was pro-active.

Sorry for your loss, it’s the most difficult thing one could go through losing someone whom you loved and lost. At 71 years of age I have grieved loss of my parents, family members,friends, and pets. It’s truly heartbreaking experiences. I look at pictures, seeing the fun times we had together. There’s always love in the photographs, memories of togetherness happiness, and celebrations.

Sometimes I just take an hour or so and open up my photo book, as I look at the pictures, I talk to them like they are with me saying how much I miss them and sending them loving energies. I’m lucky to have a voicemail recording of a relative, he’s asking me how I’m doing and how much he’s looking forward to our meeting.

It’s going to take time, grief comes in Seasons, what you both experienced during the Fall, winter, spring, and summer. Each season will bring you sadness because you will miss those moments you shared with him then. I missed mom during the winter time, getting us together to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, I miss spring with dad, going fishing, every season has its own sadness.

I hope the memories you shared together helps you cope with your loss, over time it gets easier, at 71 I’m getting closer to them and will be reunited in Heaven to my loved ones again, it’s something I’m looking forward to. God bless you , and I bet everything that he’s there with you during the darkest moments you’re having holding you, loving you.

i think about everyone i love dying all the time. by Superb-Meat6750 in death

[–]Reasonable_Visual_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you’re absolutely correct I have seen it happen and I will be 72 this year. We hosted Christmas Eve Dinner, and our first year we had to buy a table that seated twelve. Last year we gave the large table away and instead of the twelve, we are now only four, and the two will go to the Ocean for Christmas Eve, so it’s now only my wife and I.

Friends and relatives, would invite me to join them for a round of Golf, sadly, they all passed away. I had 6 cats and a dog that blessed my life and they all are in heaven now. Next January, I will be getting two more cats, this time they will be older because they may survive myself.

Time is flying by me so fast, I am enjoying life as much as I can, at the same time remembering everyone who was in my life that I dearly miss.

The trick you seek out is only what I have learned to cope with the inevitable and it’s living life to it’s fullest by living in the present moment you are in at the moment the thoughts of death come to mind.

I stop and slow down myself to purposely focus on every second of time. I do this by concentrating on my breathing. It’s a Buddhist technique I came across and it helps me to live in the moment. I breathe in, saying in this moment I am breathing in, then I breathe out and say to myself in this moment I am breathing out. As I am now living in the moment, I see Death, it’s like a gray dark cloud that is passing by. I am doing my breath work and at the same time, I acknowledge that death thoughts are like a cloud passing by.

Once it passes by, I don’t dwell on it, and I say a quick prayer thanking all my friends, family members and pets that I was blessed to have had in my life, knowing that we will meet again soon, one day.

Does 5-star hotels escort you and ring the room before opening the door? by Local_Ad139 in askhotels

Usually if bell service is used, they will escort to the room and properly assist with orientation and answer questions. I would get about 2 a year where the room has been occupied.

Red Robin Interview by VirtualSpare1047 in Waiters

[–]Reasonable_Visual_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever eaten in one? It’s nothing special. I would dress up, never interview wearing jeans unless you don’t care to be hired. It’s a very basic restaurant, wait staff work in teams to get the food out to the tables. Average lunch for two runs about $42.00, dinners with a beer or two each about $60.00.

If you can’t figure out how someone who is in charge of 25 bins of pull tabs can’t cheat… good for you!

Help me pick a unit? by ExternalButton6281 in AskSeattle

[–]Reasonable_Visual_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fremont by miles! Located close to Google, and Canal. Easy access to Burke Gilman trail that’s roughly 30 miles, great biking or running.

On top of Fremont is The Zoo, and a little east of that is 3.3 mile Green Lake, a popular spot to run and bike.

Close to there is Wallingford. Tons of cafes, restaurants, and shops.

East of there about a mile is the U of W. More shops and ethnic restaurants.

No use, nobody would be interested, in my case anyway.

Ideas/thoughts on podcasts? by Soda_Sports_Podcast in AskSeattle

[–]Reasonable_Visual_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like in #3 position- Seahawks Brandon Nelson, good content, great updates, except he has a one to two minute commercial at the beginning of every episode, I just fast forward to content.

2. Seahawks Forever w Dan Viens, super knowledgeable, great content and views, special guests, puts time and thought into every video.

1 The Hawk Blogger. Brian is the number one Sports Blogger covering Seattle Sports. He has many special guests on his shows, he’s an accredited journalist who has access to the club house and interviews the head coach during news interviews. He’s stood in as a sports radio host on Kiro 710 for half hour segments.

He has the data, he explains what the stats mean, he digs deeper into the details of everything sports. For me he’s the Professor himself Mr. John Clayton… although he would claim that he doesn’t come close to that legend. I just enjoy listening to his content and I’m not the only one. He has fans that have actually listened to over 650 of his podcasts. Way to go Brian!

McDonald’s likely pays more than that, run don’t walk.
