THE 1ILHALD January They like to wait on you When the meal la considered not quite up to par it a not the chef who a blamed it a the waiter When the beverage la con not quite acceptable It a not the bartender who receives the word its the waiter If there happens to be any other problems or complaints In a restaurant whoa fault la It No one else but the Constantly on their feet with a never ending ex terming warm friendly greetings catering to the enjoyment of others during the social hours only to receive In most cases the minimum wage set by the government Why do men and women seek and remain for many years in the Job Adah Glbbs presently the head waitress at the Terra Cotla Inn has been a waitress tor a total of ten years and there any other type of Job I would like to work at To Adah being a waitress has been a part of her entire life a child Adah mother was a cook and often Adah would find herself mingling KATHY GORDON a waitress at the Soup Pot meals and receive the type of service they in Georgetown enjoys the social aspect of the wish for told Kathy Job I like to see that people enjoy their with the customers and eventual them think Its the meeting of so many different people which has kept me at this Job Everyone is usually very pleasant and In fact over the years 1 have run into very few unpleasant customers began Adah As for hours being mostly on my feet well Idont find the hours long because In your busy time you literally don have a minute to spore And when things do slow down there always a comer to be cleaned or trays to be washed There a really no time to be Our biggest clientele here are people from Toronto and this Includes regulars When people return time and time again the atmosphere between customer and yourself becomes much more relaxed They start to Joke and talk with you they recognize you and familiarize with you for lipping well I find that men are far higher tip pers Surprisingly enough the big majority of the customers do tip and in fact I think it has only happened to me once here when someone dldn tip me However the service does not at all depend on whether you are to receive a lip or not concluded Adah Captain of the Dining Room at the Terra fnn Robin has been a waller for a little over a year and a half and now would like to become a professional He began working at Terra a waiter on a part time basis strictly because I needed a part lime Job at the time and the Inn was looking for part time help related Robin profession Why I enjoy meeting and working with people I like finding out Just what makes people tick I enjoy the dinner hour more than luncheons During the evening meal people are much more relaxed and they have time to chat which gives me a chance to show them a really good time continued Robin The hours are a bit strange I work weekends and during the week and In fact that a the restaurant business catering to people during their social hour I hate pushing people through a meal they are out for an evening of en and that what wo give them It Just a matter of common courtesy and using your head to be a good waiter However I do stress courtesy above everything else For many years the Job of either or a waiter has been considered everything but a glamorous line of employment and often considered at the bottom of the social employment scale However according to Robin this myth is changing People are now starting lo a waiter or waitress as actually holding a position which In fart we are Anyone can sling hash but to do it as a profession Is a story concluded Robin Deborah Bell has been a part time waitress at Hunter Inn in Georgetown for the past three years What keeps her going I like people I like being with the public I like to go up to people and say Hi how arc you This Is a small restaurant It cozy and I try to make our customers feel as comfortable as possible Deborah presently a student at Sheridan College graduates in May has decided that she would like to work full time as a waitress I don find it particularly hard work I guess because I do enjoy It so much I t work in a ordinary fast food restaurant I like the relaxed atmosphere here continued I consider being waitress as holding a position not a low class Job as many think concluded Deborah Gordon and Mary who have both been working at the Soup Pot for over a year now agree that It the meeting of the people whether they be strangers or regulars which keeps them so floppy with their business I particularly enjoy meeting people I like working with and around food I like people and is the type of job which gives you a chance to meet a lot of people I like to see that people enjoy their meals and receive the type of service they wish for began Its lovely when you don get bored or tired are bus you re kept going all the time and with this place that happens regularly Mary who had no ex as a waitress up until the time she began working at the Soup Pot feels that the Intimate atmosphere of the Soup Pot should be credited for much of the working This is quite an Intimate restaurant It fairly which given it a homey at All the people I have met are friendly even people who do not live In town Just stopped In for some lunch Tipping as far as concerned has nothing to do with the Job It more or less just like Icing on a cake I like to see that people are pleased with the service and that they get what they want con eluded new Mayor on successful last week In his bid to assume the office of Mayor of the town Mr was chosen mayor by his fellow after former Mayor Ivor resigned to accept an
