Restaurant work is a needed job area and while it’s not necessarily everyone’s final destination, you’re unfairly maligning yourself and more importantly your coworkers for being in the industry by calling other callings “bigger and better things.”

Honestly all these comments you’re making just make you seem like a negative shithead. Blocked.

I put myself through college working restaurants, and definitely knew a lot of people during those days that would have bent over backwards for this opportunity, and many who would have scoffed. Thankfully the scoffers I knew wouldn’t have felt the need to shit on others like you’re doing and would have been happy for their fellow human being having a moment of happiness with a bucket list item.

Sounds like the employee in question was really excited and that the restaurant knew she would be, so took the extra steps to call her in. Would it be okay to smile for someone having something they subjectively were really excited about happen to them, rather than shitting on it with your negativity?
