My first trial at a restaurant

So I have been finding it quite difficult finding a little serving job to hold me for a month so I started lying on my resume saying that I have some experience serving. Not happy about lying but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

So I got a trial at a fancy seafood bistro place which is probably not the best place to try and learn to do this kind of thing especially since they believe I have done it before but who cares, who could I hurt. For all my Bishops friends out there, I put down Sebbys and the Lion for some places I have worked. Hell I figure I was at both places so often it felt like I worked there anyways, in some cases I did at the Lion.

Anyways I thought I would share this story for everyone because it was a bad showing and I know most people would like to hear this fail. So nobody shows up at the restaurant in the first hour I am there. My duties are simple, fill up peoples water and take away plates but this is difficult when no one is in the restaurant. So the manager calls and hears that no one is there so he tells them that someone should be at the front trying to coax people to come and eat at the restaurant. So finally we start getting a couple tables and I am told not to worry about water or anything and to just stay at the front and get schmoozing to get people to come in. Sure enough the manager comes and sits and watches me for about 45 minutes as I stand at the front doing absolutely nothing. No one is even looking at the menu and no one is coming in. So after 45 minutes of literally standing there and doing nothing and bringing in not a person to eat I decide that I need to do something while he was there so I don't look like a complete retard. So I noticed that one of the few tables we had was a friend of the manager so I decided I might as well grab their dessert plates and bring them back so I can say I did something during my 2 hours trial. So I come over and grab their plates and of course I drop some cutlery on the table and smash a glass. They proceed to make fun of me and I scurry away with my tail between my legs. Then I decide to take some dishes out of the dish washer. I fumble that and hit the counter as I am placing it and pour water all over myself and the counter.

So I doubt I will be hearing back from them after that trial and I thought that everyone would enjoy hearing about my failure at serving for the very first time.
