south fin grill

I just got a job at the South Fin Grill in Staten Island on Father Capadano road. It is nothing like the way i expected it to be. Every thing they do is so precise, its crazy. I worked at Ruth Cris steak house in Boca raton and it is nothing like this. Even with my experience they won't make you a server right away. You have to be a server assistant for a month then work at the Vanderbilt for a night which they own too. May i add to work at the Vanderbilt you need a certain tuxedo which i 160 dollars for one night. Then after then you have to get 3 Manager approvals then you can be a server at the south fin grill. To me that is absolutely crazy, i know you might need extra training because its a nice restaurant but its not that serious. This 70 year old manager greeted a family that came in to eat by saying "this is a 3 star restaurant it would be a 4 star but we don't have table cloths on our tables" who in their right mind says that to someone who is coming in to eat in a restaurant. They also have these coffee splash guards well actually its just a plate the you but in front of the coffee pot so you don't splash the person your serving. The plate has computer paper printed out and taped on the plate saying "We take care of you" , i think that why its a 3 star restaurant personally. Why would you tape computer paper on a plate and show it to some one as your serving them coffee. I think it is understood when you go to a nice restaurant you get taken care of , telling someone that typed is a little trashy if you ask me. You should never tell some one what your doing for them its should be understood and given , when you tell someone its make them think in a way your desperate for like a bigger tip or something. I just didn't think being a server was that serious i know its hard work believe me i did it for 9 months, but its not impossible you take the order type it in the computer, check on your guests, smile, and the bus boys run food in expensive restaurants you don't really have to worry about carrying 5 plates in your hand. I just think the way they make you do slave work for a month to become a server is ridiculous. I honestly have to look for anther job.
