Market server

This week at the Marriott I worked as a market server. I worked with Dan the restaurant manager, Ginny, and Mary-Anne. This week was very busy for the market, not only was it open to the public but there was a reservation for a party of 12, and a reservation for a party of 9. When I first got there they had some tables moved around so the parties could sit together. They had me make sure that tables settings were right. The party of 12 was coming first, so the next thing they had me do was fill all of their water glasses up with water. Then Mary-Anne showed me that there are two different types of glasses for different types of beverages. One glass was for soda only, and the glass was for iced tea and lemonade. For iced tea, lemonade, and diet soda you put a lemon on the side of the glass. When that party of 12 came in things got very busy and it got harder for me to help the employees because they had to move as quickly as possible. When ever I would see one of the servers come back with dishes I would offer to take them to the dish washer to help things go faster. once more customers came to eat I watched how quickly and efficiently they had to move to make sure that all the customers were happy. When ever I saw that a glass was empty I would ask them if they wanted more to drink then go get it for them. I would say this is one of the best experiences that I had at the Marriott because I got to see everyone hard at work, and I helped as much as I could.
