Going to college in Manhattan in 1982 or now, things don’t change, NYC is very expensive, and working in a restaurant is a great way to make money.
I never worked in a restaurant before, but I landed a job and next thing you know I was in the middle of chaos.
My worst day was when I dropped a large tray of desserts on table of international diplomats.
Amazing, I wasn’t fired, but had to pay for their dry cleaning.
The lessons I learned working in a restaurant have stayed with me. I learned a tremendous amount working in restaurants. You learn how to serve people, how to take care of people, and the basics of good service.
Life is always teaching us; you just need to be open to the lessons and grow.
