I loveee my new job. I'm officially a bartender now.. still working at the same place as before, but i got switched from a hostess to a bartender. I guess i've passed being a good hostess, and apparently we need more bartender at the restaurant. I don't mind learning new things, and i don't understand why people at work sometimes are just so nosy.. they were wondering why my boss transferred me to be a bartender, and they just ASSUMED that i won't like it.
Don't get me wrong. I did feel a little upset that he scheduled me as a bartender without informing me at first, but i didn't mind at all because i always love learning new things. I already work as a bartender for 7 shifts and so far so good except that bartending really IS a lot more work to do compare to hostessing. We have to open bar, make drinks, do dishes, tide the bar up, make garnishes, sweep and mop floors, and close bars.. but it's always fun, because you interact more with your coworkers especially the servers and you'll be able to communicate more with them. As my boss told us, the servers are our customers, so we have to treat them nicely, and i do find when you treat someone nice, they'll do the same thing. Just remember the golden rule "treat someone as you want to be treated" .. that's all you need. =)
And the most challenging part about this job is that.. I have no clue at all about alcohol. I dont drink ... not even beers. the only thing i know is vodka and how to make shirley temple. That's how bad i am. even the servers were shocked when they knew i knew ZERO about alcohol . hahaha. but now i'm getting better, and still learning. I already know how to make some cocktails like singapore sling, blue hawaiian, and so on.. and some mocktails like cookie monster, or mango freeze my fave. hihihi.. and i'm still gonna learn some more. ugh.. so excited!!! and i'm so glad that i've already known most of the servers when i was a hostess, and now that i'm a bartender .. they help me so much when they come to order drinks that i've no clue how to make them... can't thank enough to them =D
