most part, the most technologically advanced any of them were was

merely punching prices into a cash register, hardly a state-of-the-art

process by any means. Most of the jobs I have worked at were more

labor-oriented jobs, so I suppose that is why this is kind of a change

for me. These days I wait tables at a local bar and grill. I have

worked at restaurants like this before, but none of those places were

dependent on a computer like this one is. For example, at my old job,

when we took orders for drinks we scribbled it down on a sheet of

paper and then threw it at the bartender along with another ten people

so he could try and figure out just what the heck was written down.

This process seemed to take forever. Now all I have to do is go to

the computer, press a couple of buttons, and voila, the bartender gets

a clear printout of what needs to be made. And with any luck, the

drinks should be ready by the time I get to the bar. Needless to say

I like the method of using the computer much better than the old way

of writing everything down. This has also solved a lot of problems of

the same kind in the kitchen, also. As having the experience of being

a cook at one time, there was nothing that got on my nerves more than

trying to read the handwriting of someone who had to take an order in

a room filtering out more than 150 people making noise while trying to

jot everything down as fast as they can. As you can probably imagine,

this turns into a lose-lose situation for the people trying to work

through all of this. The cook is mad at the server for not being able

to write the order in plain English. The server is mad at the cook

for always being so critical and not worrying about themselves.

Eventually the person who is effected most by all of this is the

customer. What happens is the cook finally just doesn’t care about

the order anymore and doesn’t prepare a good meal, or the server gets

ticked off at the cook and ends up taking out their frustration on the
