I've been trying to switch careers from food service to healthcare for a long time now. Ever since I got my certifications I've had one foot out the door at my current job while I look for jobs in healthcare, which is why I was so surprised today when I got the sweetest compliment ever while working today. I was serving a family of three and brought them their check. The little boy must have been about 6, but he whipped out his little velcro Spiderman wallet and held out a dollar, "You're the best waitress ever!" He said. Me and his parents laughed and I graciously declined the dollar. After they left I was cleaning up their table and I noticed that he'd drawn me on his paper placemat with a chocolate milk walking to his table with "best waitress" written under it. I showed it to the other girls and we all "awwwwed" at it and laughed. Even though I've been dying to leave this job it was nice to be reminded of one of the positive sides to it. It's certainly going to make it easier to come in for my shift tonight!
