.255 x work, school, sleep
8/12/08 00:46So I have to get up in the morning. But really quickly:
I'm thinking about trying to work at the Greene Turtle and at Hooters over winter break, and then at the end deciding which suits me better. It'd only be three days at each, but I'm planning on working three to four doubles a week, depending on the sorts of doubles the Greene Turtle does. I can't do those 10 to 4, then 6 to close doubles. What kind of ridiculous crap is that? I'm glad Hooters isn't that way.
Hooters is just getting ridiculous, but I'm not sure if it's enough to make me want to leave yet. I think the relaxed dress code and being able to put my hair up would really be a nice change, but I also don't know what working in a "real" restaurant environment is like. I expect there's at least some drop in the average tips earned, but I don't know if it'd be worth it.
So I put in an application. I'm going to ask around; I'm sure some of the other Hooters Girls have thought about or even worked in other restaurant environments, so I can ask them why they chose Hooters over other options. If the managers at the Greene Turtle call me back, I'll go for an interview. If they don't call me back but what I hear nosing around sounds promising, I'll pester them the same way I have anywhere until I get an interview.
I work tomorrow night. Here's hoping the mad earnings trend keeps up! I think it has to do with the holidays approaching, so people are tipping more in keeping with the holiday spirit. It's a nice change. The busted economy has been hard on us server types.
