I had just recently got a new job as a hostess at a restaurant. I had been a hostess for over a year at another higher volume restaurant so I felt like it would be a good fit. This new place was a little "nicer" more fancy but not as busy.
The first day I took to it like a fish to water. My trainer was great and I liked him a lot. Very nice guy. Everyone seemed optimistic about how fast I picked everything up.
The second day of training however I met the most ridiculous lead hostess. She had this attitude like she was a delicate genius at work and a person being trained was the biggest inconvenience to her. (How DARE they expect her to work with new people) She was rude, snappy and refused to answer questions without taking an impatient attitude. (how dare I have questions on my second day!)
Well I heard from everyone that worked there how she's just a total b***ch to anyone who is new, and that I shouldn't take it personally. After all she had been there for 3 years and was entitled to be a snappy rude a**hole to anyone who would be working "below" her. Why would she be so "entitled"? YOU SEAT PEOPLE IN RESTAURANTS!!! This isn't a difficult job by any means, and not one you should get a superiority complex over. I've only seen this kind of super-alpha-dog behavior from young girls though. The crazy hostess was likely around my age maybe a little younger. I'm 22. I've never witnessed a guy being catty in this way...maybe it's a girl thing?
I quit after my second day. Plus on my way out I told the managers exactly why I would not be coming back. I think it was the right thing to do. They should know what kind of a trainer they have. It makes me nostalgic for the last place I worked where all the hostesses respected each other (and I was in charge). Yikes.. Try not to leave good jobs for shitty jobs that pay a dollar more an hour. lol...
I may go back to my old job. I left on good terms and the managers keep asking my boyfriend (who is a server) what I'm up to.
OK.. my rant is over.
