Did the "people waiting on the tables" know this when they started waiting on the tables or was this a total surprise to them.Also I heard people waiting on the tables" can learn 90% of their job function in 8 hours or less. Is this true? FWIW I am always nice to people waiting on the tables", but unfortunately the people waiting on the tables" are not always nice to the customers. BTW are you one of the people waiting on the tables"?
