Random Scrap:

The day in the restaurant was divided into two shifts - lunch and dinner. The lunch shift was all you can eat buffet. That's right, you paid a fixed fee at the entrance which entailed you to loading on your plate as much food as possible. It was a bit more expensive than Home Town Buffet where Kamil took me a few weeks earlier but Brenda hoped that it was a good way to attract more customers with not too much effort required - all you had to do was to make sure that there was enough food in the warmed up pots and the drinks were constantly being supplied to the table. I was pretty nervous when I was finally allowed to approach my first table. It was occupied by two ladies. My opening line started with 'Hello' followed by 'What do you want?'. It was obviously too late to take it back but rather than apologising and acknowledging the mistake I gave the ladies my best smile. 'Are you still on training?' one of the ladies asked me and proceeded to order two ice cold cokes. If in doubt, always smile. Lesson learned!
