Fun Fact Friday: Food Server Experience
Friday, March 2, 2018

Fun Fact Friday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUSOpen in new Window.
On this day in 1984, the first McDonald's franchise was closed; a new location was opened across the street from the old one in Des Plaines, Illinois. Have you ever worked in fast food (or the restaurant industry in general)? Tell us about your experience! Good, bad, ugly, and/or fun! And if you haven't, I'm sure you've got an entertaining restaurant experience from the customer's perspective you'd be more than willing to share.

Most of my young adult life I worked as a food server in various restaurants, coffee shops, and fast food joints. In Blackwell, while I was my grandparents caregiver, I worked the graveyard shift at Bob's Grill. When I moved to Las Vegas, I worked at a McDonald's on East Charleston, and later at a Casino Coffee Shop. I main thing I learned in all of this experience, is all food service places are run with a similar mindset by the managers. Each of the places I worked provided, discount, meals for the employees on the job, and that was where I ate when I was working.

I have some fond memories of the employees, especially the cooks. The cooks were the ones who impressed me the most because they were interesting. It takes a special person to pursue a job as a cook or a chef, because they are standing over a hot grill or deep frier for 8 hours. I, also, found out the difference between a cook and a chef, which is hourly wages; a chef gets paid more.
