Room Service 1-20-09

Today I was in Room Service again with Joel. There was a really big order going up to a suite so we had to get the cart cleaned. We also had to set up two baskets with 6 rolls each in them but we couldn't find any... So we ventured into the freezer and found some. We put them on a tray and popped them in an oven for 5 minutes. While they were warming up, we filled a couple cups with salad dressing and set up the cart with some ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. We also gave them some salt and pepper shakers and a pretty white flower. Joel said that its a good idea to give them a card with his name, what time he set up the order, and if they enjoyed the service because it was such a large order. We pulled the rolls out of the oven and put them and some butter in a basket. We picked up 2 salads, 2 sandwiches, and 3 cups of soup. We brought it to the 5th floor to a well dressed man who seemed pretty excited about the inauguration.

1-13-09 Room Service

Today I was in the Room Service department. When we arrived, my mentor Joel wasn't in his office. Instead of sitting in his office, I looked for something I could do while he was gone. Near the dishwashing station, I noticed Joel's carts were covered with dishes and garbage, and were kind of in the way. So I took it apon myself to stack up the dishes, throw out the garbage, put the dirty napkins in the wash bin, and wiped the carts down. I then brought them (and the salt/pepper shakers because they dont get thrown away) back into his office. When he came into his office he was very thankful that i helped.
