So today was my first day at work!
Not at all what I expected.
I was completely prepared to be introduced to a bunch of catty, mean girls...
They were all so sweet! When I got there my manager S told me to clock in and just go hostess. I asked who I was going to be shadowing, and the answer was no one. I asked what I was supposed to do and he said I'd figure it out, just be sure to get the door for every guest coming in and leaving. Whenever any of the girls had a free moment they would come up to the front to stand with me and talk.
They explained the jist of what I was supposed to do: Open the door and say, "welcome to Hooters! How many? Inside or outside?" and then I just kind of take them wherever I want. I tried my best to do it like it was a rotation versus sections since it was slow, but everyone wants to sit outside because the weather is gorgeous and we are right on the beach with an awesome view! I totally felt like I had no idea what I was doing, but the other girls were really supportive and said I did a good job.
It was pretty slow so we blew up some beach balls and threw those around (and at eachother) for a while, and they showed me how to run food and bus tables.
After actually wearing the uniform for a shift, I realized that even though I thought an XS would be too small since I'm size 4 normally, it's actually a bit too big! I'd prefer a tighter uniform, and at the end of my shift I let my manager S know so that he could bring some XXS unis in for me tomorrow.
In short, hostessing is really boring and I can't wait for them to be over so that I can get put on the floor and start making money... beach parking is expensive! I work again tomorrow for dinner, so hopefully it's busier and I actually have something to do.
1 training shift down, 4 more to go!
