After a week of fun, I put my head down and went job searching. In two days I dropped off and applied to about 30 jobs. A week later "Black Bull Restaurant" called me for an interview. The interview went great and I started the following Monday. Black Bull is a gourmet Spanish restaurant that has an amazing wine selection as well. Although the shifts are a bit short, I actually love this job. My customers are usually "foodie" couples or a small group of middle-aged friends who love a good glass of red wine.
My night consists of talking to customers, learning about wine, awing over the amazing food as I bring it to the table, accepting the jokes that get thrown at me for being American and speaking the small amount of Spanish I know to Herando. I really enjoy the people I work with and that I'm finally learning how to make coffee. It's nice to not hate going to work, not to push sales on people and to be busy. Retail has been a majority of my work history and I hate it. I hate refolding the same pile of shirts because the store is slow, pushing sales and lying about how amazing that ugly shirt looks, dealing with unruly customers because "the customer is always right" and watching irresponsible moms let their kids use my store as a playground.
So obviously I'm stoked to be working in a restaurant, people come in because they want service, weird. I really enjoy talking to people and my ascent is always a conversation starter. Yay.
