2、 of what guests would like to see. For a month that summer, I served as a waitress (女服务员) at breakfast and dinner, which gave me the middle of the day free for studying. Like all the others, I did what the instructions said and treated the guests as though they were special visitors in my own home.
3、I soon learned how to deal with the most daunting person in the kitchen: the cook, Gordon. He had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason.

4、e between kitchen and dining room.Breakfast waitressing was, I found, more enjoyable than the dinner service.
