I apologize that I didn't put it through -- I can explain more if you want to email me. There wasn't anything inherently wrong with it, but I was worried that the reference to evangelicals in particular might be of concern (again, I have a specific reason for that that I can't really detail here). Thanks as always for a thought-provoking post!Jennifer @ Conversion Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11894992378619176830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910244387313210404.post-6091270241380902882008-05-20T03:46:00.000-07:002008-05-20T03:46:00.000-07:00I put a lot of effort into getting along with ever...I put a lot of effort into getting along with everyone in the place, including the line cooks, the prep cooks, the bussers, the hostesses, the cashiers, the dishwashers, and even the managers. I didn't take my frustrations out on them (I am blessed with a long temper and patience), I helped them when I could, and I treated them with respect at all times. <BR/><BR/>I may not have been the best server in the place, but I was one of the best-liked. I was even offered management training on two or three occasions. I turned it down, because I didn't want to do 80% more work for 20% more money.<BR/><BR/>To repeat: "[I]t behooves you to <I>not antagonize</I> those whom you depend upon to provide your product and serve your patrons.

I love it when one of the guests has ordered some thing well done or the long cook time item and I can shift the onus onto that guest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
