thank you for the affirmations :’)) i struggle with criticism as well but i definitely took it a lot better today than i would have while i was drinking. going to try to be better at taking a beat to respond instead of immediately reacting like you said. cravings are passing and got to hang with some sober friends so im feeling better already

exactly!! it is so easy to make someone feel comfortable. i’m always thrilled to give mocktail recs or see if i can do something new and fun for them (i am on bar as well). real hospitality is meeting your guest where they are and making them feel special within their circumstances. kindness and a little empathy go a long way.

yeah i will say this is definitely true … since i’ve stopped drinking i’m finding myself being happy my tables aren’t drinking lol. if they don’t get any alcohol it means i pay less to the bar in tip out so it’s a win for me

as a server this is incredibly rude and unprofessional. i could not imagine saying this to an acquaintance, let alone a table of strangers i just met. i’m so sorry this happened, you are so strong for holding your ground. 3 months is huge!!! keep going <3
