so for being employee of the month i get a lunch with management on thursday at the steakhouse, 100$ cash, 150$ gift card for the restaurants or stores, parking in the ramp for a month, and apparently some jacket from the gift shop. then i’m in the pool for employee of the year, and for that you get 1000$.
this is all so surprising because well…i’m a damn good employee as far as attendance and knowing what the hell i’m doing, and not coming to work high/drunk. but as far as customer service, i don’t really strive for our “4 Star” service bull that we all had to go to 8 hours of training for. i’m not rude unless you’re a total ass to me, but i don’t really go out of my way either. the 8 hour training 2 years ago was the most wasted 8 hours of my life – because who doesn’t know you’re supposed to greet people when they appear in front of you (be it a gaming table or the counter at mcdonalds or a clothing store), or to smile at people, and to thank them for their business. seriously, do people not know that kind of stuff? apparently they don’t know because we all had to be taught this for 8 long boring hours. this is all stuff i learned from my PARENTS, it’s called being polite haha.
anyway…so it was unexpected, tho i don’t think undeserved 🙂 shawn was the pit boss who nominated me, so he gets to go to the lunch thing and give a speech about me. hahahaha that’ll be amusing. i get to take a guest and i guess i’m taking my mom since adr1 leaves wed, and adr2 doesn’t eat meat, and i have no sig other.
also it is in the paper that the south grand island bridge is on the verge of collapse… ok not really, but it is apparently rated between “poor” and “serious” condition hahah so glad i don’t have any reason to go to grand island anymore
