Hellish Hostesses Written by sizzlin2870@aim.com on 02/21/2011Oh gosh. Where do I begin? For starters, I've been working as a Hostess since January 30th of this year. Now, I must admit that I am still having issues with my job description but it is not helping when hostesses and servers are breathing down my neck about how I should do my job right. Rule of thumb: Give someone space to figure out how they can handle their job. Don't watch them and critique every little detail about my job. My other two hostesses were great trainers for me. Ever since my second week of working one or both of them have been ALWAYS asking me to take their shifts. Tell me something?? Is it really my responsibility to take your shifts all the time? If you are schedule that day to work and always asking someone else to do your job, then why do you have a job? One Hostess has been working there for two years and is a senior in high school. She should have known that because she so "popular" in school then she should have known in advance on how to manage her time. I went to high school and right after school, I went to work. Did I bitch about it? Yes. But did I beg others to work for me instead? F**k no. Then, the other server is not in school. Why the hell I am covering her shifts if she's not doing anything? Boyfriends can wait. Friends understand. But Jesus Christ! I go to college full time, and work weekends, like the schedule says. Do I look like I have all the time in the world to sit around and Facebook? Hell no. Does anyone have any suggestions as to handle this without any violence...because I'm so ready to shake these girls to death!Read 2 Replies | Add a Reply

Here's a thought. When someone asks you to work an extra shift, say no. Pretty simple word, really. Or, you can whine and play the victim.
