The worst job that I have had would be working
at Sizzlers. I was getting paid 8.50 an hour and I only worked on Fridays. I
felt like the sizzler factotum. My responsibilities were to clean table after
people ate and take there dishes. Separate each plate or utensils and put in
washer. I had to take out the garbage and always keep washing my hands every
thirty minutes. If a customer spilled something I would have to clean up the
mess. I enjoyed the job just because at the end of the day I got tips for being
the busser, but I only got one day a week which can be a good thing or bad. I
had to have a lot of patience with the customers and wait till they were done
eating until I cleaned there table and also if there kids made I mess I had to
smile and say it was fine. I learned that working at sizzlers was not for me
and I couldn’t be doing that my whole life. The money was minimum wage and I wouldn’t
survive in this world with that salary. I wanted a higher paying job and fast.
The best job I have ever had was working for Verizon
wireless. I was the greeter for Verizon wireless, I would great the people that
walked in and made sure they had someone help them as soon as possible. The
customers would see me first so I had to always smile even if I wasn’t having a
great day. I enjoyed working there because I loved helping the customers out
and making there life easier. I gained great knowledge talking to people and
being comfortable not knowing the answer but finding out.
Great post, Victor. I can relate so much! I worked in the food industry as well, and I hated it. Just like you, I had to do everything from sweeping and mopping floors to wiping tables and cleaning the restrooms at the end of the night! I'm glad you stuck through it until you realized that it wasn't for you.
ReplyDeleteVictor, It's good you don't have to work at Sizzlers anymore. I would hate to only work one day of the week. You do have a lot of patience for that. Stick with Year Up and I know you will go far and never have to wotk a low-paying job again. Keep up the good work Victor.
ReplyDeleteHey Victor, seems like we shared a lot of similarities with that job title of basically "cleaning up after someone" That's good you enjoyed your job though, I was the complete opposite of enjoying my job.
