There are many things that I like about my job as a hostess. There are many things that I do not. The pay is among these… as are the tolls that I incur on my way to work.
Some other things that I don’t like are moments like these…
Enjoy a few snippets of my life as a host.
Customer: “Greetings, Earth woman!”
Me: “Greetings… Earth man?”
Pause
Customer: “You are from Earth, aren’t you?”
Me: “I am… are you?”
Me: “Party of 3?”
Group of 3 guys: “3 guys isn’t much of a party… more of a sausage fest. Wanna join us?”
Awkward laughter
Customer: If you hate your job so much, you should just quit. You should just be happy you have one. I mean McDonald’s is always hiring.
Me (bewildered): “But I like my job.”
Customer: “You should just remember that customers like me pay your salary.”
Child while on a wait: “If I don’t eat, I will DIE.”
The list could (and does) go on. But that will have to wait for another day. I’m off to live the dream as a host again.
