There is no rhyme or reason to where George places us in the work stations. I am in CTO (cooked to order) the first thing in the morning and serving in the dining room after lunch. Because we are winding down for the holiday break, we prepare a buffet meal for the dining room for Tuesday and Thursday, rather than menu items. We also prepare a fancy buffet for a Wednesday college board evening banquet. The management students are the servers for this event.
In theory, George gives us the hardest tests we have had so far, covering all his hand outs and lectures. They are still open book, but the volume of material they cover is massive. I tell George I don't think I did well, and he says, "Since you are only doing this for a hobby, it won't matter like it does for some of the students who will be applying for jobs".
We are allowed to keep any tips we make as a waitress in the dining room. The first day I make zip for tips from my tables of college staff who regularly eat in the dining room, while the other waiter makes $22 from a group occupying his tables. The second day, the people at my tables are more generous and I make $6.50. This gives me insight into the other side of tipping.
