The Saga Continues ...

Update on Day 3 of my attempt at serving. This blog is turning into one of those painful, awkward moments in movies where you feel so bad for the character that you're cringing and can barely watch what happens next. LOL. I was only carrying 4 glasses on my tray. But I apparently don't have the coordination to balance the tray with with one hand while at the same time placing glasses on the table with my other hand. As I was putting the third glass on the table, the last glass on my tray tipped over and the entire glass of water spilled onto the table and onto the lady's lap! OHMYGOSH! I was absolutely horrified, I can't remember the last time I've felt so embarrassed! But even before I could finish my gasp, the lady who got spilled on chuckled and exclaimed, 'Oh, that feels good!' (It was really hot out and she was wearing shorts) Can you even think of a better reaction from a customer?! I was amazed. Good thing the glass on the tray that tipped over was water, and not coke! All 3 people at the table were SO nice about it, I could not have asked for a more understanding group of diners! God is cool :) The other server saw what happened, told me it was a rite of passage and tried to make me feel better by telling me stories of when he spilled on a customer and broke a bunch of things. The rest of the day went smoothly, and I refused to use the tray to carry drinks, haha. Other than me and the tray not meshing well together, I think I'm getting better at managing the flow and remembering orders. I made $35, which was about $6 per hour, a slight improvement compared with Day 2, haha!
