While I've been served by a few of them in my time, I'm actually referring to MYSELF. Disregarding the well-known stereotype of the prototypical struggling actor/singer here in LA, I am here to say without any reservation that I SUCK AS A WAITRESS. I've tried my hand at hostessing at a Jewish Deli here and a Chinese Bistro there, but the restaurant business is definitely not my game.
First of all, as much as I love getting to know new people, that doesn't mean I always want to talk them or smile at them. Second of all, I don't drink so I'm not fully versed in all the many different types of alcohol there are out there. Third, if the bartender calls me "little girl", I'm not having it. I'm just not. I guess I should be amazed that I lasted a whole four days at The Cork Bar & Grill.
The security guard wanted to believe that was because I couldn't handle being around "all dem black folks" but for those of you that know me, you know that ain't it. Black, white or blue - I don't give a shit. If you're drunk, you're drunk. For me personally, that isn't a good color on anybody. I have little to no patience and a bad temper. I'm not gonna lie. I've learned from my time working in hotels that those qualities tend to work against you if you're in hospitality or customer service :)
