Ugh, I'm going to start this post off with a rant. Don't ever touch a server's apron! Seriously, you wouldn't touch someone's purse or wallet right? (I hope not, anyways.) Well, my apron has the same function...and it's strapped to my waist. It's very close to my person, and I don't want you touching my hard-earned money or my person. I don't know what this customer was thinking...trying to be helpful? Maybe. But I had just filled both my hands and arms with plates and bowls from their table when he tries to hand me the the check folder to cash out for him...and then realizing my hands were full, he says "Oh, I'll just slide it into your pocket..." And starts to reach for the middle pocket of my apron. Fortunately, I have good balancing skills and immediately stacked the dishes on my arm higher freeing up one of my hands and avoided that scenario. It was just annoying...I'm a very private person and I don't like anyone touching me or my personal belongings, and I don't think I should have to deal with that from customers, who may be innocently trying to help but who knows what's really going through their heads? They are, in the end, strangers. End of rant.
Okay, so update on the pedometer: I'm kind of disappointed, because I haven't worked a really busy day since I've been wearing it. So, yes, the numbers are a little lower than I expected. I walked 9,000 steps 9:30-8 on Monday and about the same today from 11:30-8. That's about 4.5 miles a day...inside of a very tiny restaurant. I also wore the pedometer on my days off...Sunday: 6,000 steps. Tuesday: 2,000 steps. Like I said...I'm kind of disappointed. I bet I walk about 20,000 steps on some of my busiest days. I still find these numbers to be really interesting...I love these kinds of facts, and I think I'm going to make it the topic of my next quiz question, which is located on the left of this blog and ends in just 12 days!
Until next time.
