The Restaurant Community:Intro Into Author:
Hello, My name is Baylee Schmaltz I was born and raised in Gallup New Mexico. My first job ever was working in a small restaurant located right off of Historic Route 66. It was mainly a pub like atmosphere with all different types of bar food and beer. I was too young to serve alcohol however I did still have to work in a bar like atmosphere. Which can be challenging for a young teenage girl. I personally really loved the environment and the great people that always came in. Through my journey in this discourse community I have learned to be a better person. Being a waitress requires a TON of patience with people. (Which i didn't really have before this job.) It taught me how to deal with others needs, and other specific things such as how all people are different and everyone has different values. As a waitress you much asses the group you are dealing with and approach them in the right way. You wouldn't want to act the same way you would to a group of teens to a group of foreigners or an older more conservative couple. This page will help you better understand my journey through this discourse community and how it impacted me. | ||
