Personality 101 (Lesson 1 - Charm For The Charmless)


This lesson is for all of those who may not have the best people skills, but still chose to work as a server, hostess, or bartender in the food service industry.
 

If I (the customer) kindly & respectfully attempt to interact with you, I deserve your upmost attention.

          Now this may feel very unnatural to you if you happen to have a very poor personality. How does this happen? Well, it’s probably because your mother and/or father didn’t love you enough as a child or simply passed down their lame personality on to you through years of negative behavior. Worst of all, a common side effect of this is being unaware that you have this deficiency in the first place.

 

So take the“lack of likability” test with these 5 simple questions and see where you stand:

 

1) Do you get left out a lot?(on more than one occasion, you discovered that you weren’t invited to go somewhere with people you thought were your friends)

 

2) Do you feel like you hate people most or all of the time?

(some of the time is normal-everyone has bad days)

 

3) Are you physically attractive, but just can’t seem to hold on to someone very long?
(no one will commit to you).

 

4) Do you complain a lot (are you a Debbie downer?)

 

5) When interacting with someone, do you do most of the talking?

 

If you answered “yes” to most of these questions then you probably have a shitty personality. And if you answered "yes" to most, but still wanna make money (every one does)…then at least humor me *the customer* when I attempt to chat with you. Don’t make me feel rushed or like Im putting you out somehow. Otherwise- You will put me in the shitty position of leaving you a very very shitty tip! And wether you believe this or not, It absolutely sickens me to leave anyone a bad tip anywhere. To me, a bad tip is considered anywhere between 10-20%. You pretty much have to be asshole of the year for me to leave you that much, but thats just me…many people wont leave you shit if you blink wrong at them. Either way- our purpose here is to help ya’ll make more money!!

I know you can do this simply because every damned person on this rock can be pretty good at pretending when they want something bad enough. You see, It is possible for both the exceptional and mediocre to co-exist by considering this simple yet wonderful concept.On the other hand, if the customer is truly being rude and disrespectful...thats another story.

Nonetheless, We are the ones who provide your tip… which is why you are waiting on us in the first place! DRRRRR!!!    Stay hungry! RF
