First morning of work

Morning 6:45 alarm sounding and a dog barking. Abby stood up heading for the kitchen when she heard a noise, she tiptoed to the door of the kitchen to find Rebecca making breakfast.

Rebecca said morning and past Abby a cup of coffee while waiting for the toast to pop she turned to grab the milk and sugar for Abby, when Abby shock her head and moaned "what is going on here your up so early and you are even making breakfast for both of us not just yourself, I never knew having a roommate or flat mate what ever you want to call it?"

Rebecca was confused "don't you normally make yourself breakfast in the morning?" Abby shook her head "no I normally just get a bagel on the way to work, and the time it not even 8 yet." "so what time do you normally get up"

Abby looked at the food on the table pancakes in a stack, some fruit spread out on a plate, some porridge and even orange juice in a large jug. "where did you even get all this stuff" Abby said in shock and amazement while moving to sit down at the end of the table.

Rebecca sat across from Abby picking up the pancakes and passing them to her see calmly looked up and past Abby "my stuff arrived about half an hour ago" the gesture cause Abby to turn and see three large bags in the hall.

She smiled "that's great how did you get it here so fast?" the question went unanswered with a small shrug from Rebecca. The 2 looked at each other and then went on eating breakfast.

8:15 Abby standing at the door yelling "are you ready to go" just as the words came out of her mouth so did Rebecca come around the corner out of the hall dressed smartly as one does on there 1st day of work.

The two walk down stair and called a taxi, it took about two minutes before they finally got a taxi. Rebecca was nervous and excited for her first day of work.

The taxi ride was about ten minutes when they got out at the hotel's back entrance Rebecca ask "why didn't we walk I feel like it would have been faster?" Abby opened the door with her key pass and answered "yes but then we have to get though all the people and sometime you get stuck and it ends up taking longer."

She fled Rebecca to the restaurant where she introduced her to the other waiters and the three bar tenders after the bartenders she walk towards the back office of the restaurant where she bumped in to Steve she turned to Rebecca and said "this is your manager Steve, you can chat with him and then I'll show you the ropes"

Rebecca followed Steve to the office once in the big grey door the was two desks, one had a computer set up with three screens one screen had schedules on the second had what looked like a contract and the third had six small screens that looked out at the restaurant (surveillance cameras)

The second desk was in the middle of the room with chairs around it, Rebecca thought it looked like you were sitting in the principles office after getting in trouble. Steve sat down and motioned for her to sit in the seat.

Steve spoke with an air of authority "So you are our new recruit, Tracy right?" Rebecca felt like she was joining the army when she said "um no" (thought "shit what") and quickly yelled out loud "YES SIR" feeling a little embarrassed she started again slowly "sorry about that yes I'm Tracy Almond your new waitress, thank you again for the job I will do my best!"

Steve a little shock about what just happened but he was really happy someone called him sir, he took a deep breath and said "OK Tracy that's all for today you can go find Abby and help her out today to learn the ropes, I'll put you on someone else tomorrow and then the next day you will be on your own. OK off you go"

Rebecca jumped up from her seat and walked out the office and bumped in to the cute bartender Teddy with quite a bit of force causing her to fall into one of the chefs that was standing near by. Rebecca quickly got her bearing trying to stand up, the chef grad her arm gently lifting her to her feet.

"Sorry sorry, I'm really so sorry" she said repeatedly. The chef in his uniform looked dashing neat and tidy he stood firm with is short black hair and very tidy trimed beard he was atleast a head taller then Rebecca. While holding still holding her arm waiting for her to get her balance he said "are you OK miss?"

Just as he asked Steve came out of the office shouting "WHAT'S GOING ON Here, Charlie!!!" Rebecca got a fright and almost lost her balance again luckily the chef was still holding on to her, Charlie help Rebecca to her feet once again then straightened he's chef jacket and said "nothing it was just an accident, a little fall but everyone is OK"

Charlie just walked into the kitchen as if nothing happened. Teddy took Rebecca's hand and lead here out of the office area and straight to Abby, as they got to Abby "you need to watch this one she is a bit clumsy" teddy said before he walk over to the bar.

Abby quickly asked Rebecca "what happened?" Rebecca went red "nothing, I'll tell you later" she said before turning to greet a customer and taking him to a free seat while handing him a menu.

Abby stood and watched as Rebecca took the order of not one but three tables with no notes and put the orders in and then went to the next table to clear, before Abby could say anything Steve came up behind her and said "you taught her well" Abby shook her head before saying "I taught her nothing I haven't even shown her the menu yet."

End of the first day of work "Tracy can you stick around for a bit" Sarah asked as she past Rebecca on the way to the office.
