Closure: Part Two. Top Ten Things I WON'T Miss About The Industry

Well this didn't take long to think about.  

If you're an industry person, you're going to love this.  And if you're not, I hope you will gain perspective from our perspective. 

The Top Ten Things I WON'T Miss About the Industry

1.  Working holidays.   Especially Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day.  Get the idea?

2.  Working every freaking weekend during football season.

3.  Having to leave whatever beautiful activity I was partaking in on a weekend to go to work in the middle of the day.  Super annoying.

4.  Working a long, sweaty and frustrating nine-to-ten hour shift getting 10-15% tips all day because we were understaffed.   Lord, just take me now.

5.  Managing a restaurant when half your staff calls in sick.  I give up. I’ll be hiding in the dry storage room for the remainder of the day. 

6.  Restaurant managers who’ve never been servers.  Yuck. 

7.  Enjoying your beautiful day off and suddenly your manager calls you in because someone else called in sick and you have no choice but to say, "Yes" because you have a great work ethic.  

8.  Self-seaters.  Get outta here. 

9.  People who think they can sit in my restaurant with a different restaurant’s food.  Oh hell no. 


10.  Restaurant managers who are idiots but somehow never get fired.  Hashtag Corporate America Sucks.  ~ HK ~
