I definitely had fun being a waiter. I can't say for sure that I was a good waiter. I think that I made people have a good time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a waiter, I wanted to be the best waiter I could be and worked to be better at it every day.
I wasn't the best waitress in the world, but I was cheerful and worked hard.
I was not a great bartender, but I did OK. I wasn't great at being efficient behind the bar, but I was pretty great at talking to people. I was a pretty good waiter. It was painstaking to get me to care about the clientele of some of these places I was working at.
I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.
I wasn't a good waitress, but I was told that I was very nice and charming, so people liked me anyway.
I haven't had to do anything outside of show business my whole life. I've never been a waiter. I've only worked and gotten paid. It hasn't been a classic example of someone slogging through the business.
I was working in restaurants as a captain and as a waiter.
Fortunately, I never had to do the waiter thing. When I got out of college, I immediately started to teach acting. One of the first jobs I had was in a federally-funded program where I taught drama to young people.
I have been a waitress, and I was a damn fine waitress too, let me tell you.
I've never had to get a job as a waiter or anything. I've always been able to support myself in 'the biz.' Which is great. It's really fantastic to be able to say that, because I know it's hard to do.
