Conversation Revision

I work at Winger's Downtown which is a wing restaraunt if you have never been, and I was just arriving at work around 6:00 p.m. and this is what Katy had to say to me that night...

"So how do you like Hooters?" Katy asked me right when I walked into work.

"I don't know, I've only worked with her once but she didn't say a word to Rachel or I. Really seemed to like the guys that were working though. She loved them." Hooters is a nickname Katy and I gave to the new girl who just started at our work. She used to work at Hooters so I thought the name was fitting.

"Well I really don't think I like her. Did I tell you what she did to me on her first day?"

"No tell me!" I was thrilled to hear this story because Katy is sometimes known to over-emphasize things.

"Well, Bob was managing and he's cool ya know so I was texting someone and right in front of me she asked Bob,

'Hey, don't we get in trouble if we text at work, like shouldn't sheget written up or something? She's texting right in front of you,' and then Bob said,

'it's cool, only when Barbra manages you're not really supposed to text.'

So then I looked up at her and said,

'um, it's your first day, so I wouldn't really be trying to make enemies already.'"

"Haha, I can't believe she actually said that. She definitely wasn't friendly to me at all when I worked with her either. We will have to keep our eye on Hooters." What a ridiculous conversation. Turns out that Hooters is actually an alright person.

6th Post- Observation Revision

Just sitting down, a group of four arrived at Winger's downtown. Winger's is not busy at this time, and this was one of the three tables there. The group began looking at the menu with wrinkled brows and squinting looks on their faces. There was one lady, long blond hair dressed in khakis and a frilly red shirt. She was tall and wearing high heels that were making loud noises on the floor when she was walking. Three men were sitting with her dressed in earthy toned slacks, dress shirts and flashy ties. "We're on our lunch break so we're in a hurry," the woman says to the waitress. "Can we get four diet cokes please?" one man says with a smile. The four were engaging in conversation about what just happened at work and the ladies voice tone was carrying over the three mens. The waitress brought back diet cokes within one minute as she readily asked them what they wanted to eat with a big grin her face showing all of her extremely white teeth. The waitress was wearing a blue shirt with the phrase "get sauced" on the back of it. Her name tag says Addie and she has long dark hair and spoke in a very loud voice.

The lady orders salad and soup in a high pitched tone without a smile. Two men order Cajun burgers with grins on their faces and the other guy orders a chicken ceasar salad. "That will be right out" the waitress says as she skips away. The lady began another conversation about a new person being hired that is less than qualified which sparks focused and concerned looks from the three men. The food came out very quickly. "Thanks a lot" says one of the men. "Can you bring me another diet coke" the lady asks with her eyebrows raised. "Thanks" she says shortly.

The four of them don't speak much for 10 minutes while they scarf their food. One of the men stood up and wavs for the waitress to come over. He asks, "Can we please get our check?" The waitress shook her head up and down and brought back the check instantly. The man pays for everyone's meal and tells the waitress no change is needed. The waitress says "Thanks for coming in guys have a great day." The man was checking his watch and takes a sip of his drink. "Let's go" he says to the group. "Thanks for lunch Jerry" says the lady. They all get up and put coats on and strut out of the building.

5th Post- Observation

Location: Winger's downtown
Time: 11:15 pm

Just sitting down, a group of four arrived at Winger's downtown. Winger's was not busy at this time, and this was one of the three tables there. The group began looking at the menu with wrinkled brows and questioning looks on their faces. There was one lady, blond hair dressed in khakis and a red shirt and three men dressed in slacks, dress shirts and ties. "We're on our lunch break so we're in a hurry," the woman said to the waitress. "Can we get four diet cokes please?" one man said in a low but friendly voice. The four were engaging in conversation about what just happened at work, and the waitress brought back diet cokes within one minute as she readily asked them what they wanted to eat with a big cheesey grin her face. The waitress was wearing a blue shirt with a name tag that said Addie. She had long dark hair and talked in a loud voice.

The lady ordered salad and soup in a snappy tone without a smile. Two men politely ordered cajun burgers and the other guy ordered a chicken ceasar salad. "That will be right out" the waitress said as she skipped away. The lady began another conversation about a new person being hired that is less than qualified which sparked focused and concerned looks from the three men. The food came out very quickly. "Thanks a lot" said one of the men. "Can you bring me another diet coke" the lady asked with her eyebrows raised. "Thanks" she said shortly.

The four of them didn't speak much for 10 minutes while they scarfed their food. One of the men stood up and waved for the waitress to come over. He asked, "Can we please get our check?" The waitress shook her head up and down and brought back the check instantly. The man paid for everyone's meal and told the waitress no change was needed. The waitress said "Thanks for coming in guys have a great day." The man was checking his watch and took a sip of his drink. "Let's go" he said to the group. "Thanks for lunch Jerry" said the lady. They all got up and put coats on and strutted out of the building.
