My first job: food service

My first job was a waitress at a nice restaurant in Petersburg, VA. I made below minimum wage plus tips. I was in college and wasn't looking to get rich. My goal was to have living money while I was in school. I remember the tips being pretty good. I took extra shifts when I could. They could depend on me to work when someone called in. I liked the people that I worked with. The Customer’s were nice. The job ended when the semester was over and I went home for the summer. I don't remember why I didn't go back. The food was delicious. I used one of their recipes to wow people at dinner parties. And, I discovered my love for garlic-mashed potatoes from there.
