- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Trueee
While the work is brutal, I loved every restaurant job I have ever had. It is so much fun, having a lot of food to experiment with, the silly gallows humor.
Hopefully you connect with a good crew.
You are the newbee so remember these four rules:
- Be on time every time
- Be in the right place
- Be in the right uniform
- Maintain good personal hygiene
Thank you so much!!!
How old are you? Do you need to fully support yourself?
Nah, I still live with my parents and I’m only 18
I would love a foot café… but not joking, good luck!!
