I didn't really enjoy it to be honest. I felt like I was annoying people, I don't know why. But I'd have to keep being like where's this, where does that go, how do you do this on the till, because I'd not worked there, I didn't know how they did things or where they kept things. They didn't have a waistcoat that fit me either, which was extremely embarrassing, so I wore it open. Was only a little too small. But still, was so embarrassing.
The food did look really good I have to say. And smelt so good. You have to plate up all your own puddings, and they kind of made it clear you could take a very small slice to try if you want. But small, and occasionally. Soooo tempting, they're amazing, all made there. Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake. Chocolate Fudge Cake. And I'm going to shut up now!
My feet absolutely killed by the end of the night, and for £5.40 an hour it barely seems worth it. But I need the money!
I got a decent amount of tips though, £8.30, over a 4 hours shift, isn't bad. But apparently you have to put all the tips in the tip jar, and it gets shared out on the first of the month. I'm not sure that I really agree with that in a way. Some people don't earn tips for a reason! But then, there's some times you don't get them. Like if you're in the kitchen or whatever. Not all of that went in the tip jar though, because I was only told at the end, so only £2 went in that had just been left. They'd made it quite clear it was for me, and was like this is for you, emphasis on the you, and didn't seem impressed that the woman took it off me to put in the tip jar!
So while not an amazing job, and is just here and there, it's a job!
