A half full kinda girl
For any who don't know me I am Michelle, but friends call me Mickey, Shelly, or shell. Any who, I have recently become more active in posting in the Forums, I wish I had really signed up for an account years ago, there are sooooo many wonderful people on here.
I am a college student currently, so like most college students I am a waitress lol. Have been for three years. I work just as hard if not harder as any of my other co-wokers and finally yesterday someone- very important to my company recognized that.
I had quit the current restaurant I work at last october, really over some juvenile issues. I mean don't get me wrong I was looking for a place that offered better hours and better business, but a part of me loved my regulars and friends I did have at my current job. However as I was cleaning one night, my "friend", now looking back I questioned his intentions, tells me that majority of the staff hated me and always talked about how I got in their way because I was fat, I was LAZY, and would slow them down because I would stop to eat. To say I was mad would be an understatement, here half these people would sit down, eat and play suduko while I am working my whole shift through not taking a break till the end to get dinner, and then they would have the nerve to say something about me stopping to eat!! I asked my friend who was the bartender every night what she had heard and she said they had said it, but I knew it wasn't true things so it shouldn't bother me. I quit a week later lol.
Fast forward to this june, I hated the new job, missed my regulars, missed my cooks, missed my old managers, so I decided to go back to my old job. Our district manager comes in to the restaurant yesterday and as always starts pulling people aside and telling the what they are doing wrong. This man always finds something wrong with you, down too a person's hair being out of place, so naturally when he calls me over I was terrified. I still remember what he said almost word for word
" Michelle, I just want you to know how amazing I think you are, and I was thrilled when I found out you came back. You are one of the best employees that has ever stepped foot in here. You are always dressed sharp, and looking good, you make each guest feel wonderful, you have an amazing sense of urgency, and you are and all around sweet person. If you ever need anything, or have any problems just let me know, thank you once again for being you."
I was shocked I thanked him and had a dumb smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon. This man never ever compliments people, or gives positive affirmations. And after he said his peice to me he pulled over some off the girls that had said I was sooo lazy last year, not that he knew about this, and proceed to tell them how much he thought they sucked lol. It was a great experience for me that I had to share.
Have A Great Weekend Everyone!!!!!
